California Institute of Technology senior researcher Wolfgang Fink is said to be planning to create autonomous spacecrafts or robots that “that will be able to analyze data about points of interest as it passes and then make quick decisions about what needs to be investigated” according to a special report by Engadget.
The space robots are expected to explore the universe for researchers and scientists like Fink, similar to what is currently on Mars doing robotic exploration.
The robotic arm of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA is on the North Pole of ars digging the soil, the ice, and then putting them in one of the analysis tools onboard the Mars Lander.
A robot arm is what is presently available but soon enough, real robots and bigger and more efficient spacecrafts will likely be sent to Mars to for further exploration.
