Ispace, Inc.: Ispace and Chuo University Agree to Collaboration Plan to Transport Small AI Robots for Future Lunar Lava Tube Exploration

ispace, inc. and Chuo University announced a memorandum of understanding to study the feasibility of transporting multiple small robots equipped with AI to the lunar surface in order to explore lava tubes that have been discovered on the Moon. The agreement furthers the implementation of the Japanese government's Cabinet Office Moonshot Research and Development Program. Through the memorandum of understanding, ispace and Chuo University have agreed to cooperate in the implementation of the Lunar Lava Tube Exploration Mission, which will transport the swarm robots equipped with AI, developed by the Chuo University Moonshot, to the Moon's surface in multiple missions from 2028 onwards. The project focuses on "evolvable swarm robots that can share intelligence to settle in unknown and unexplored areas - and is led by Professor Yasuharu Kunii of Chuo University's Faculty of Science and Engineering. ispace, inc. and Chuo University announced a memorandum of understanding to study the feasibility of transporting multiple small robots equipped with AI to the lunar surface in order to explore lava tubes that have been discovered on the Moon.
