NASA has mapped every inch of Mars, so positioning consists of the rover looking for geologic features and then comparing that to the distance that the rover has traveled. Older rovers had to stop and ...

The web-like features are believed to be sculpted by ancient groundwater, offering new clues about the Red Planet's watery ...

One of the mission scientists leading the boxwork investigation, joined “Jesse Weber Live” on Thursday to discuss the revelation.

For about six months, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has been exploring a region full of geologic formations called boxwork, low ridges standing roughly 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) tall with sandy ...

The rover also discovered bumpy textures called nodules, an obvious sign of past groundwater that has been spotted many times by Curiosity and other Mars missions. Unexpectedly, these nodules were not ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has spent six months exploring the site to investigate if they are a clue to the presence of water.

On Earth, we can punch an address into Google Maps and be on our way in seconds. But plotting a course for NASA's Perseverance rover, 140 million miles away on Mars, is significantly more difficult.

Free AI tools Goose and Qwen3-coder may replace a pricey Claude Code plan. Setup is straightforward but requires a powerful local machine. Early tests show promise, though issues remain with accuracy ...

AI is coming for our jobs, and now we can add "Mars Rover Driver" to that list. Last month, the Perseverance rover successfully drove not one, but two trips across the Martian surface planned by AI ...

Scientists believe these rocks were formed by ancient rainfall, similar to how they form in tropical climates on Earth. The discovery adds to the evidence that Mars may have once been a habitable ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and ...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence. Executed on Dec. 8 and 10, and led by the agency's Jet Propulsion ...
