Why kinetic anti-satellite weapons became obsolete before they really had time to see the light
When a country decides to test anti-satellite missiles and shoots down its old spacecraft in orbit, the world community immediately condemns it. They say that you increase the amount of space debris for nothing and create a danger for the peaceful use of near-Earth space! Such public statements once again fuel the fear of the notorious Kessler syndrome.

Robobacks stop being cute if you attach a combat weapon to them
A video with a robot dog trying to shoot from a real weapon mounted on his back is rapidly gaining popularity on Twitter. The robot purposefully approaches the targets, aims and tries to hit them — fortunately, so far unsuccessfully. The recoil of the weapon is too strong for such a weak chassis, and the robot does not really know how to adjust its actions.

This system is installed on Tiger-M armored vehicles, but can also be used on other vehicles. "Newspaper.Ru" together with experts, I understood the specifics of the work of the "machine gun robot".
NASA will create a swarm of floating robots for the subglacial ocean of Europe
Robotics Engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Southern California) Ethan Shaler proposed to study the subglacial oceans on the Europa and Enceladus satellites with the help of a swarm of tiny robots. According to the idea of the specialist, the robots will be inside a probe tunneling into the icy crust of the satellite, and then will be released into the water when the "mother ship" reaches the ocean. This is reported in a press release on the official website of the laboratory.
NASA has approved the continuation of work on a swarm of floating micro robots for the ocean of Europe
NASA has allowed to continue work on the SWIM project, in which a swarm of small floating micro-robots can be sent to Europe. It is expected that when they reach the satellite's subsurface ocean with the help of an ice-melting cryobot, they will measure its properties and also look for biomarkers, according to the website of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
