ATHLETE - NASA Exploration Technology Development Program (ETDP)
ETDP's Human Robotic Systems project develops technologies for surface mobility and equipment handling, human-system interaction, and lunar surface system repair. Dexterous robots and autonomous rovers that can traverse rough terrain will help the crew explore, assemble, and maintain the lunar outpost. Prototype robots such as the All-Terrain Hex-Limbed Extraterrestrial Explorer will be demonstrated in annual desert field tests that simulate lunar surface operations.
