Moonshot Kunii Project showcases lunar exploration AI swarm robots and the lunar mission concept at the Ministry of Education, Culture, sports, Science and Technology building

From Tuesday, May 27, 2025, the Moonshot Kunii Project will exhibit at the entrance to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The planned theme of the exhibition will be “technologies to explore lava caves with AI and robot swarms to expand lunar habitation zones,” and will involve introducing the R&D status of the project with a focus on the lunar exploration AI swarm robot RED (display of actual equipment) which the project is currently researching and developing, as well as explaining the lunar mission concept, which aims to build a lunar exploration base by 2050. In addition, an earth-bound counterpart model to the ultra-small lunar exploration rover LEV-1, which actually operated on the Moon in January 2024 and whose technical results and accomplishments have been carried over to RED, will also be on display.

The exhibition will continue until Friday, July 4, 2025, and will be available for anyone to view free of charge. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
