When NASA’s Perseverance rover dropped through the thin Martian atmosphere and settled into Jezero Crater, it did more than stick a precision landing. For the first time, a robot on another world ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover completed first AI-planned drives on Mars, led by Indian-origin roboticist Vandi Verma.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has successfully completed its first drives on Mars entirely planned by artificial intelligence, navigating the rugged terrain of Jezero Crater without human route planners.

Scientists test autonomous robots that study rocks faster on Mars-like terrain, balancing speed with scientific precision.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has demonstrated that the six-wheeled “Percy” Perseverance Mars rover has the durability to operate until at least 2031 and trek on for at least another 37 mi.

HOUSTON—NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has twice successfully demonstrated drives on the red planet planned by artificial intelligence (AI), an update from the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ...

In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the Perseverance team used AI to generate the rover’s waypoints. Perseverance used the AI ...

At the beginning of February 2026, American space agency announced a major breakthrough in the way it operates its rovers on Mars: for the first time, the six-wheeled machine called Perseverance had ...

NASA plans a 2028 nuclear-powered Mars mission using SR-1 Freedom and Skyfall helicopters, aiming to transform deep-space ...

The study presents the first in-situ evidence of electrical activity in the Martian atmosphere, identifying 55 distinct triboelectric discharge events. These electrical discharges, unlike terrestrial ...
