How do we control robots on the moon?
In the future, we imagine that teams of robots will explore and develop the surface of nearby planets, moons and asteroids - taking samples, building structures, deploying instruments.
Have a say on these robotics solutions before they enter the market!
We have gathered robots which are being developed right now or have just entered the market. We have set these up in a survey style consultation.
