This week, celebrate India’s historic lunar landing, meet a humanoid robot, see a rare type of baby giraffe, and more.
We live in a time where new missions of exploration set off to the cosmos on a regular basis. But just because rocket launches have become more common doesn’t make it any less exciting to see a spacecraft lift off to the heavens. On Saturday, NASA launched its most internationally diverse crew yet.
But a new humanoid robot design called Apollo, unveiled this week by robotics startup Apptronik, could one day do household chores and even help build habitats on the moon and Mars. About the size of the average human, Apollo is capable of walking, picking up objects and placing them. Initially designed to improve logistics in warehouse settings, the robot could play a role one day in NASA’s Artemis program, according to the Apptronik team.
