- China is testing robotic dogs in simulated moon conditions for future lunar missions.
- Two prototypes developed by Peking University are designed to explore terrain ideal for human lunar bases.
- The robotic dogs are tested in a cave near Jingbo Lake, which resembles the moon's underground environment.
- These robots can navigate autonomously, avoid obstacles, create maps, and record 3D cave structures.
- The research aims to advance embodied intelligence technologies for deep-space exploration.
