Sojourner, First Robot on Mars

The mobile robotSojourner was usedduring the Pathfinder

mission to explorethe mars in summer1997. It was nearlyfully teleoperated

from earth. However,some on boardsensors allowed forobstacle detection.http://ranier.oact.hq.nasa.gov/telerobotics_page/telerobotics.shtm
