- Chinese scientists are considering using quadrupedal robot dogs, humanoid machines, and wheeled rovers to guard and maintain future bases on the Moon.
- A study published in Chinese Space Science and Technolog y proposes a collaborative model where astronauts provide high-level decision-making while robots execute physical tasks.
- Researchers argue that hostile lunar conditions, extreme temperatures, and radio signal delays from Earth make human-only or robot-only missions inefficient.
- Proposed concepts include three astronauts working alongside robot dogs that carry out daily patrols, sample collection, environmental sensing, and cleaning.
- China aims to land astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and build the International Lunar Research Station near the lunar south pole in collaboration with international partners.
