A JPL researcher traveled to Antarctica this past December to test robots and instruments designed for icy worlds like Europa.

Underwater drone research could change how we study the ocean -- and could eventually look for life on other planets.

A small laptop-sized device is being developed at JPL to look for amino acids and fatty acids, with potential applications in space.

Hedgehog is a new concept for a robot that is specifically designed to overcome the challenges of traversing small solar system bodies.

When communications with Earth are limited, robots must teach themselves.

New robot technology leads Antarctic exploration into a new epoch. It is now possible to study the underside of sea ice across large distances.

A team of chemists has created a robotic instrument that is able to analyze rough, uneven surfaces.

A group of ASU researchers have been critically examining transhumanism -- the set of ideas related to the integration of humans with their technologies.

A robot that can scale the faces of steep cliffs might one day help explore Mars and find signs of life.

The MARS (Mobile and Remote Sensing Lab) team has helped the Cleveland Police refurbish an old crime-fighting robot. Other work involves outfitting modern robots with applications for science in space and on Earth.
