The people who designed rovers to explore Mars are developing a slithering robot to search for signs of life in watery environments, such as the moon Enceladus. EELS robot may help JPL look for ...

NASA JPL Developing Underwater Robots to Venture Deep Below Polar Ice. 5d. Called IceNode, the project envisions a fleet of autonomous robots that would help determine the melt rate of ice shelves.

Oak Ridge High Class of '82 grad Ron Garret worked with JPL, Google, formed several companies, made a film, and more.

“These robots are a platform to bring science instruments to the hardest-to-reach locations on Earth,” said Paul Glick, JPL robotics mechanical engineer and IceNode principal investigator.

The eventual plan is to use the snake robot, Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS), to explore oceans beneath the moon’s crust and finally answer one of the universe’s big, open questions.

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory 3w Robots built by high schoolers vied for points in a fast-moving game inspired by complex ocean ecosystems at the FIRST Robotics Los Angeles regional competition.

A team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has been working since 2019 on a snake-esque robot to explore a variety of terrains.

The robot was tested in simulation software first, then indoors at JPL’s facilities, and finally at the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska, where it was lowered from a helicopter that acted as a proxy ...

A Girl Scouts robotics team mentored by engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has advanced to the World Championships of the FIRST Robotics Competition. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and ...
