The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is testing a snake-like robot with hopes of one day sending it to one of Saturn’s moons in search of life outside of Earth. According to the JPL project’s ...

EELS is designed to slide down narrow vents on icy worlds, including Saturn's moons, and search for signs of habitability in their subsurface oceans. Reading time 3 minutes A new robot has joined NASA ...

NASA has a long track record of engineering feats that have helped humans explore the depths of space. One of the agency's next projects will help humans travel to new celestial bodies – but it may ...

NASA is working on The Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) system, a snake-like robot that would be used to explore the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's 83 moons. NASA/JPL-CalTech/SWNS NASA’s ...

Is there life outside of Earth? A new snake-like robot could be the one to find out. The Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) is being developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for a space ...

It's been joked that Mars is a planet entirely inhabited by robots. While this is true (unless we find biological evidence to the contrary or show up ourselves), it hardly makes Mars unique. Humans ...

NASA has unveiled how its moon mining robot or In-Situ Resource Utilization Pilot Excavator (IPEx) will work on the lunar surface. This robotic system will support lunar digging, making it possible ...

There seems to be a trend in the robotics world to make industrial robots shaped like dogs. That's probably because four-legged robots can be more adaptable than bipedal ones, traversing difficult ...
