NASA experts stated that windbots or Wind-Powered Robots can prove to be useful in exploring Jupiter and other planets in our solar system in the near future. Instead of just flying these windbots will move through the turbulent and dense gases of the planets moving up and down through a particular planet's atmosphere, they said.

It has been said that the NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC), the program in charge of the study and elaboration of windbots, has given $100,000 to continue the research for new designs of these ground-breaking robot explorers.

Four planets of our solar system i. e. Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are unexplored because of their dense atmosphere that represents the majority of its sizable radius.

NASA experts said that presently they have no spacecraft that can penetrate into the deep atmosphere and land safely on the solid core of the planets mentioned above.

Adrian Stoica, principal investigator for windbots research at Jet Propulsion Laboratory said, " One could imagine network of windbots existing for quite long time on Jupiter or Saturn, sending information about ever-changing weather patterns. And, of course, what we learn about atmospheres of other planets enriches our understanding of Earth's own weather and climate".

As per NASA experts, the development of this kind of technology will be a great resource of knowledge of things which lie beyond our own atmosphere, as well as understanding Planet Earth even more.

Windbots could explore the atmosphere of Jupiter one day, according to NASA researchers exploring the unique craft.
