How many scientists does it take to get LASSIE to Mars? 🚀🐾

A multidisciplinary coalition that includes researchers from Oregon State, NASA and other universities is working to find out. In August 2025, they tested the quadruped robot LASSIE — which stands for Legged Autonomous Surface Science in Analog Environments — at White Sands National Park in New Mexico.

The robot’s four-legged design allows it to adapt its movement as terrain shifts beneath its feet. But what’s also special about LASSIE is that researchers plan for it to be more than just a tool.

Cristina Wilson, a cognitive scientist in OSU’s College of Engineering, studies how robots and humans can work together to do science. Researchers hope robots like LASSIE will one day collaborate with astronauts as scientific teammates, helping them reason through their next moves as they study the surface of Mars.
