TL;DR Summary

NASA's Perseverance rover completed two drives on Mars guided by artificial intelligence, using Anthropic's Claude to generate safe route waypoints tested in a digital twin. The 689-foot and 807-foot routes showed the rover could deviate from plans based on terrain data, marking the first AI-planned drives on another world. With interplanetary delays preventing real-time remote control, AI-assisted path planning could speed future missions to the Moon and Mars.
