NASA’s Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration (CADRE) is working on a network of mini mobile robots, almost the size of a shoebox, that can work together as a team to autonomously explore planetary surfaces including the rugger lunar terrain.
Developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, the autonomous rovers will be able to make decisions and act without the requirement of constant human intervention, subsequently enabling them to be responsive to challenging exploration objectives. The mini rovers will collect data in hard-to-access and risky areas, such as inside craters and caves.
