TL;DR Summary

NASA's Perseverance rover completed its first two AI-planned drives on Mars (Dec. 8 and Dec. 10, 2025) at Jezero Crater, using Anthropic's Claude AI to analyze orbital imagery and terrain data and map routes. The missions totaled about 456 meters (nearly 1,500 feet), with extensive digital-twin validation, showcasing generative AI's potential to plan long rover drives and reduce operator workload while increasing science return.
