And outer space is likely to be altered by autonomous technologies. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can explore ocean depths beyond human reach and collect valuable data on marine ecosystems and geological formations thanks to advanced sensors and artificial intelligence (AI).
For space exploration, autonomous rovers and drones are becoming increasingly sophisticated. A perfect example is NASA’s Diligence meanderer, which is equipped with computer-based intelligence-fueled devices and independent route capacities. Future missions could use swarms of small, self-driving robots to explore planet surfaces, collect samples, and conduct experiments, significantly expanding our capabilities for space exploration.
