Researchers in China have developed an intelligent chemical robot that may be able to extract oxygen from water on a surface Mars. According to the scientific magazine “Nature”, the robot supported by artificial intelligence will be used Materials found on the Red Planet to produce catalysts that extract water and produce oxygen.
The research team said that artificial intelligence concluded that it is possible to analyze water, which is known to exist in the form of ice in… The poles of Mars and under its surface, in a process that would have taken human research for two thousand years. The study was supervised by Jun Jiang from the University of Science and Technology of China, and Jiang and his team used a mobile machine the size of The refrigerator is equipped with a robotic arm to analyze five meteorites collected from Mars or Earth. The team’s goal was to verify whether the machine could produce useful catalysts from available materials .
According to the results reached, the robot succeeded in analyzing water, and the team stated that the robot He may be able to produce oxygen from it, with the potential to use it on a future Mars mission.
“If you think about the challenge of going… To Mars, you have to use local materials. “So I think the robot idea is logical.”
