Using high-resolution imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the AI analyzed the bedrock and boulder fields. It processed the same data humans use, but it worked faster, stringing together ten-meter segments into a continuous, safe path.

In a breathtaking new view from the Mars Express mission, ESA has released an image of Flaugergues Crater, captured in a flyover video that provides a bird’s-eye perspective of the Martian landscape.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and terrain data normally used by rover planners,

University of Florida scholars influenced the roadmap for future Mars missions outlined in a National Academies report.

Traditionally, driving a rover on Mars is a slow and cautious process. Because Mars is, on average, 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) from Earth, commands can’t be sent in real time.

What innovative rovers can be developed to advance Mars surface exploration? This is what a recent study presented at the Joint Meeting of the Europlanet Science Congress and the Division for Planetary Sciences (EPSC-DPS) 2025 hopes to address as a team of ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As humanity prepares to take its first steps on Mars, a comprehensive report released today (Dec. 9) from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and steered by scientists at Penn State lays out a detailed ...
