NASA's AI-Driven Swimming Robots to Explore Ocean Moons for Life

NASA engineers are testing prototypes for a mission concept called SWIM, which involves a swarm of miniature underwater robots designed to explore subsurface oceans on icy moons like Europa. These robots, developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, are being tested in a swimming pool to simulate their future mission environment. The SWIM robots are intended to autonomously search for signs of life by measuring chemical and temperature signals in these extraterrestrial oceans. The project is still in its early stages, with further development needed before a potential space mission.
