Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Space Robot Operations: Technologies, Challenges and Prospects

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Space robots are increasingly expected to perform long-duration, contact-rich, and multi-stage operations with limited human intervention. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robot learning, and embodied foundation models provide new opportunities to improve the autonomy and adaptability of such systems, but their transfer to space is constrained by scarce mission data, space-specific dynamics and sensing conditions, limited onboard resources, and stringent safety requirements. This article reviews artificial intelligence-enabled space robot operations (AI-SRO) from a capability-b
