UAE's lunar rover will use artificial intelligence to explore the Moon

An advanced artificial intelligence flight computer will help the UAE's lunar rover explore the surface of the Moon. The navigation computer is being developed by Canadian space firm Mission Control Space Services. It will recognise geological features as the Emirati rover, Rashid, drives around the unstable terrain of the lunar surface. The computer will be installed on a Japanese lander that will take Rashid to the Moon next year, from where it will receive data from the rover. It will also send information back to Earth to be studied by scientists at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre.
