ESA ’ s RAT rover

OUTER SPACE

AI has proven its great potential and is a game-changer in space exploration . The technology has the ability to chart unnoted galaxies , stars , black holes , and study cosmic events . The European Space Agency ’ s RAT rover navigates around obstacles by autonomously finding its way across ‘ unknown ’ fields . Intelligent data transmission software onboard Mars rovers remove human scheduling errors , which can otherwise cause valuable data to be lost . This increases the useful data that is gathered from our planetary neighbour and improves our space exploration endeavours .
