Washington:
An expert human pilot was successfully able to beat flying drones controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) systems in a race organised by NASA.
However, the AI-driven drones were more consistent in their performance, scientists said.

The growing list of firsts for Perseverance, NASAs newest six-wheeled robot on the Martian surface, includes converting some of the Red Planets thin, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere into oxygen. A toaster-size, experimental instrument aboard Perseverance called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) accomplished the task. The test took place April 20, the 60th Martian day, or sol, since the mission landed Feb. 18.
While the technology demonstration is just getting started, it could pave the way for science fiction to become science fact isolating and storing oxygen on Mars to help power rockets that could lift astronauts off the planets surface. Such devices also might one day provide breathable air for astronauts the
