Stanford researchers have become the first to demonstrate that machine-learning control can safely guide a robot aboard the ISS, laying the groundwork for more autonomous space missions. Subscribe to ...

NASA is quietly laying the groundwork for a future in which orbiting platforms can build, repair, and even run themselves with minimal human presence. Its latest robotics initiative is designed not ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is a marvel of human engineering, and not even its projected demise is enough to keep companies interested in space experiments away from it. With six years or so ...

AI makes ISS robot navigation 50–60% faster, marking the first in-orbit demonstration of machine-learning-based motion control. The system handles the station’s cluttered, narrow interior, where ...

Imagine a robot about the size of a toaster floating through the tight corridors of the International Space Station, quietly moving supplies or checking for leaks – all without an astronaut at the ...

A cargo ship from Japan pulled alongside the International Space Station on Wednesday, maneuvering close enough for the lab’s robotic arm to reach out and grab it as the vehicles soared 260 miles over ...
