Robotic systems are an integral part of space exploration missions. These robots can explore and navigate extraterrestrial terrain and can survive in the harsh environments of space. Autonomous navigation and mapping capabilities are just some of the components that are essential for us to efficiently traverse and gather scientific data. This research paper aims to explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in enhancing the exploration efficiency of planetary robots. The paper also discusses the limitations of robots in space exploration and outlines how AI can be used to overcome them.
