NASA uses a lot of robots to help us explore space. Some examples are listed here. Some benefits of robots include being able to improve the technology of spacecrafts. Robots are also more accurate than humans. They improve research too. Some challenges are programming the robots to work perfectly, and getting all the materials they need. Our opinion is that robots are very useful and helpful in research.

NASA uses robots because they are more cost efficient and more likely to last more. The robots are built to withstand the harsh conditions of space. It also guarantees saftey to everyone involved in the mission since it is the robot that is on a foreign planet not them.

NASA tests robots for exploration in areas called analogs. Analogs are places where the environment is similar to locations like Mars or the moon, where a robot may be used. One NASA analog is in the Arizona desert. NASA robotics experts conduct field tests in the desert to assess new ideas for rovers, spacewalks and ground support. Some of these tests are conducted by a team called Desert RATS, which stands for Desert Research And Technology Studies.

What is it like to be part of a team that designs and tests robots? Find out and test your programming skills with "ROVER". Guide the robot over an analog of 12 terrain grids without consuming all of his battery power. Watch out for obstacles!
