What is the role of robotics in space exploration and planetary science, and how do robots assist in tasks such as planetary roving, sample collection, and instrument deployment to study celestial bodies, geological formations, and extraterrestrial environments for scientific research and exploration missions?

Robotics plays a crucial role in space exploration by deploying robots for tasks such as planetary roving, sample analysis, and instrument deployment. Robots equipped with mobility systems, robotic arms, and scientific instruments explore planetary surfaces, collect samples, and conduct experiments to study geological features, search for signs of life, and prepare for human missions to explore and colonize other planets or moons in the solar system.
