Anthropic's Claude AI Plans First Autonomous Mars Rover Drive on Perseverance

Description

A screenshot of an X/Twitter post from the verified Anthropic account (@AnthropicAI) on X.com. The post reads: 'On December 8, the Perseverance rover safely trundled across the surface of Mars. This was the first AI-planned drive on another planet. And it was planned by Claude.' Below the text is a grayscale satellite/orbital image of the Martian surface with overlaid green rectangular survey boundaries and a cyan-colored planned path trajectory, with various waypoint labels visible (mobsketch_05, mobsketch_03, etc.). A muted audio icon appears in the bottom right. This announces a landmark achievement in AI autonomy -- an LLM planning real physical navigation on another planet, representing the intersection of AI and space exploration

Anonymous ★ Top Pick Claude can plan routes on Mars but still can't remember what we talked about three messages ago without the conversation being in context

    I could do better with a Xbox controller

    1. @SamsonovAnton 5mo

      And 8 to 42-minute round-trip time?

      1. @deimossos 5mo

        Can I use a VPN to reduce the ping?

        1. @mrfoxy_developer 5mo

          do u need vpn? i need vpn to bypass restrictions😭😭

        2. @SamsonovAnton 5mo

          I would go for some quantum FTL comms. 🤓

          1. @deimossos 5mo

            Quantum physics still can't move information FTL somehow. Developers patch pls

            1. _ 5mo

              Anyway FTL communication would break causality

            2. @farkasma 5mo

              entanglement

              1. _ 5mo

                Still doesn't allows you to send information FTL, because you need a conventional message to make sense of the results

              2. dev_meme 5mo

                You probably don’t really understand it if you really going to bring entanglement as an actual proof of FTL 🥲 It’s just a mediocre way to explain what’s happening by pop-science

    2. @azizhakberdiev 5mo

      reminded me of a movie where gamer kids control space fleet

  4. @offensive_otter 5mo

    Damn!

    clanker

  7. @nyxiereal 5mo

    Thotbot

  8. @tuguzT 5mo

    Mars mission planners (like, alive ones) are now not needed anymore 🤡

  9. @Strangerx 5mo

    Does it really require a Claude for the task?🤔

    1. @bekzat_karayev 5mo

      No, humans could do it, however it would generate less co2 and news headlines

  10. @farkasma 5mo

    true, not a scientist

  11. @callofvoid0 5mo

    so you are telling me that you shipped GPUs for making such a rediculus move?

  12. dev_meme 5mo

    They are explicitly saying it was done by LLM

    1. @Daonifur 5mo

      You're right, I skipped over that part, lol

  13. @hafijuldev 5mo

    distance is a factor :D

    1. @itsTyrion 5mo

      sure but what's light speed and what's the distance to the moon? 👀

      1. @Agent1378 5mo

        Moon? This rover is on Mars

        1. @itsTyrion 5mo

          my bad, I was thinking of the moon rover and -distance xD yeahhh that seems about right then
