Machinesforotherworlds
Autonomous systems that explore, mine and build where no command can reach in time.
XNANU is a new kind of robotics company
We build autonomous machines that survive, explore and construct on other planets.
Every mission beyond Earth runs behind a signal delay of minutes. We design machines that decide for themselves — perceiving their own terrain, planning their own work and proving what they did.
We are aware of the responsibility that comes with sending autonomous hardware to places nobody can reach. Everything we build carries an auditable record of every decision it takes.
Six systems, one expedition
Surface mobility, aerial scouting, resource extraction, assembly, autonomy and power. Each is useful alone; together they run a worksite without us.

Autonomy is the product
Hardware gets you to the surface. Autonomy decides what happens for the next ten years. Our stack perceives without prior maps, decides behind the delay and records everything it does.
From a Chilean desert to Jezero
Analogue campaigns today, lunar south in 2028, a Mars precursor in 2029 — and the same autonomy applied to industry on Earth.
- 2024 — ongoingActive
Analogue campaign
A permanent test range where every system must survive a full year of dust, radiation and 60 K thermal swing before it is allowed near a launch manifest.
- 2028In qualification
Lunar south demonstration
Four Lumen nodes, one R-9 Forge and one AX-1 Ares establish the first self-powered, self-mapping worksite in permanent shadow.
- 2029Planned
Mars precursor
A six-machine expedition operating a full Martian year with no route commands from Earth, preparing a crew-rated site.
- 2027 — ongoingActive
Terra transfer
The same autonomy stack applied to underground mining, decommissioning and disaster response, where people should not be.
Build the machines that go first
We are hiring engineers who want their code to survive a Martian winter.
