SPACE1: Made from cheap existing robotics technology, dozens of these archaic robot moon walkers may scavenge the surface of the moon in search of places best for colonization.
Dropped down in a containment cargo space vessel, numerous moon walking robots would provide a variety of reconnaissance for the lunar mission.
With one-track AI minds, such moonwalker robots are capable of Moon mapping, exploring, searching the lunar scape for best sites to set up Moon cities and habitats, and potentially remain on the lunar surface in hibernation until humans follow for colonization. Robots can also set up mining for fuel and oxygen, establish power generators, and construct the first habitats for incoming colonists.
