Abstract: The study has demonstrated that utilisation of robots and other types of advanced technologies have altered the traditional way of maintaining space projects. The idea of using robots are generally known as Robonauts, which can further help in colonisation process and habitat maintenance in a totally different environment of Mars. NASA has designed a special type of Robots known as “SPHERES”, which can work in an autonomous way. Strong computerised program has been established by those scientists to send strong signals at the outer portion of Earth that can further control the movements and activities of Robots. Some issues occur in the handling of Robots at the far away location from Earth, due to the mismatch of commands. Apart from that, high solar flare, dense atmosphere and presence of toxic materials can affect the metal bodies of those Robots and may hamper the exploration activities of those robots. Scientists from NASA have started working on further developing the robots models which can produce oxygen and water from Mars atmosphere. They have aimed to send humans to Mars at least within the year 2050, however before doing this, sending robots in Mars is required for the better outcome of this initiatives.
