Modular robots could both explore off-world and build infrastructure Modularity is taking off in more ways than one in space exploration. The design of the upcoming "Lunar Gateway" space station is supposed to be modular, with different modules being supplied by different organizations. In an effort to extend that thinking down to rovers on the ground, researchers at Germany's space agency (DLR), developed an architecture where a single, modular rover could be responsible for both exploration and carrying payloads around the moon or Mars. The study is published in Acta Astronautica.

🚀Modular rovers are the future of space exploration! 🌕 DLR envisions one rover doing it all—exploring & carrying payloads on the Moon & Mars! ✨ #SpaceTech

Shared Brain Data Aims To Bring Speech Back After Aphasia The promise here is practical: give people with aphasia a faster path back to words. A new UTHealth Houston study shows that a speech-decoding brain-computer interface can be primed on other patients, then quickly adapted to a newcomer with damaged language cortex. Clinicians trying to restore communication face a hard constraint. Many patients cannot provide long training sessions, and some lack intact speech-motor regions that most decoders need.
