Recent Implementations of Autonomous Robotics for Space Exploration

Humans intangible desire for exploring the unknown has been universal and enduring and it has provided benefits to our society for centuries. Space exploration helps to answer fundamental queries about our position in the Universe and the history of our solar system. It helps expand our technologies, create new industries, etc. Future space exploration missions require complex vehicles, habitats, robotic assistants and self-sufficient spacecraft systems which adapt to complex, and irresolute environments. The systems should be robust, economical and lightweight. With the advent of a technological boost in autonomous robotics and related philosophies, this seems an achievable dream in the near future. In this paper, we have discussed some recent implementations deployed or being developed for off world exploration and also presented a comparison amongst them.
