Studenten bouwen 36 kilo zware robot om maangrond af te graven voor NASA's Artemis-missies

University of Virginia students have engineered an 80-pound robot capable of excavating lunar soil and constructing protective barriers in simulated moon conditions. Developed for NASA's Lunabotics Challenge at Kennedy Space Center, the machine demonstrates technology that could support future Artemis missions by automating essential construction tasks on the lunar surface.
