This AI-Fortified Robot Will Build the First Homes for Humans on Mars

When humans are finally ready to relocate civilization to Mars, they won't be able to do it alone. They'll need trusted specialists with encyclopedic knowledge, composure under pressure, and extreme endurance--droids like Justin. Built by the German space agency DLR, such humanoid bots are being groomed to build the first martian habitat for humans. Engineers have been refining Justin's physical abilities for a decade; the mech can handle tools, shoot and upload photos, catch flying objects, and navigate obstacles. Now, thanks to new AI upgrades, Justin can think for itself.
