🤖 If you lease it like you lease a car, a $30,000 car, your price point per month is 300 bucks. And that translates to $10 a day and 40 cents an hour. #California minimum wage is 20 bucks an hour, how do you ever not put a #robot in that spot at 40 cents an hour ?

This #robotic system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOq20bisc0g holds the potential to dig up to 10,000 kg in a single lunar day. This is a huge increase 📈 from previous missions that only collected tens of kilograms https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/nasas-powerful-moon-mining-robot-could-dig-10000-kg-of-soil-in-a-single-lunar-day

#NASA robots 📆 Apr 29, 2025 :

• A modular system of small #robots and smart algorithms that can #autonomously assemble large-scale structures in #space
• A team of small lunar rovers designed to operate #independently, navigating and making decisions together
• A robotic arm system built for #lunar #construction tasks 🏗️
• A lunar #bulldozer-dump #truck hybrid designed to mine ⚒️ and transport regolith

#SpaceRobot

The #Mars Exploration Rover #Spirit and #InSight lander both experienced challenges related to understanding the geotechnical properties of regolith. The advancements in legged #robotic platforms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBTyelFFE1A hold potential to address these challenges through greater sensitivity to changing surface properties https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20230000243

A one-way journey typically takes about six 6️⃣ to nine months. #Optimus is intended to perform basic tasks like equipment setup, maintenance, and data collection on #Mars 🔴 https://thedroidguy.com/spacexs-bold-plan-starship-and-teslas-optimus-robot-headed-to-mars-by-2026-1268548

#Optimus humanoid robots 🤖 have electric motors in their arms that operate in a confined space and require the special magnets 🧲. #RareEarth magnets are up to 15 times as powerful as conventional iron magnets of the same size https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/business/elon-musk-tesla-robots.html

For Starship to go to #Mars 🔴, you’ve got to get #Starship tankers ⛽ on orbit and perfect orbital refueling. #SpaceX will have to perfect the #robots 🤖 that will help build spacecraft #LandingPads and human #habitats on the Martian surface, prospect for water 💧 underground, and convert the water and carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere into vast reservoirs of super-cooled oxygen and methane for the Starships’ return voyage to Earth. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinholdenplatt/2025/03/11/spacexs-starship-plan-to-land-first-humans-on-mars-but-not-till-2031

We need #spacecraft that can approach ageing #satellites 🛰️ and dock with them, using #robots to repair 🔧, refuel ⛽ and upgrade them. We’ll also need a way to reuse and recycle ♻️ satellites when their working lives are over. Different types of trash 🗑️ require different removal techniques, with many ideas coming from the #fishing 🎣 industry https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-space-junk-crisis-needs-a-recycling-revolution/
