The role of low-cost robots in the future of spaceflight.

Lessons from the CubeSat and Mars Exploration programs may guide the infusion of robotics for planetary science and exploration.

Branching Vine Robots for Unmapped Environments.

While exploring complex unmapped spaces is a persistent challenge for robots, plants are able to reliably accomplish this task. In this work we develop branching robots that deploy through an eversion process that mimics key features of plant growth (i.e.
