Check out this robot centaur-like proposed Lunar rover from Japan.
The robo-centaur features two claw-like arms, an arachnid-like midsection, and two bulging cameras for eyes, and looks like no other Lunar probe you've ever seen.. During a recent test, the robot successfully roved across the uneven terrain on its four wheels at a JAXA facility that mimicked lunar soil. The rover also managed to unpack a succession of pieces with clamp-like hands and assemble the foundation framework for a solar panel.
GITAI has produced a number of robots for diverse purposes, including the R1. According to the company's website, the objective is to get its technology to the real lunar surface by the mid-2020s. The robot then went through a few more exercises to see how effectively it could navigate rocky terrain, and slopes, and maybe gather a sample of Lunar rocks., which has been sped up to 15 times normal speed to give it the look of a stop-motion horror film, shows the robot picking up a tiny scoop and a transparent jar with its pincher hands and jerkily harvesting a little quantity of synthetic moon dust.
