  • July 2023, NASA said lately that Valkyrie, a humanoid robot, is travelling to Western Australia to undergo testing by Perth-based Woodside Energy in preparation for the remote caretaking of the uncrewed & offshore energy facilities. The partnership with Woodside is "reimbursable," which means that the energy company will cover NASA's expenses as it tries to create remote mobile dexterous manipulation capabilities in order to maintain uncrewed installations. In exchange, NASA will get data from Woodside Energy that it may use to speed up the development of its robot technology for remote control from Earth when the robot is on Mars or the Moon in an environment devoid of astronauts. Woodside Energy will be testing the droid's software. Bots may do extraterrestrial tasks like checking and maintaining infrastructure & caring for plants grown in space, among others.
