The Lunar Voyager uses two claw-like attachments on either side of the robot to scoop up lunar dust and lift it into the robot's storage container through a funnel on the top. The arms can retract and extend to grab something far away if needed or to reach the funnel. The funnel concentrates the dust to reduce it from sticking to the sides. Solar panels are found on the sides of the robot to power it to work autonomously with the driving and attachments as well. A door is found on the front in order to deliver the lunar regolith into the collection container, which will open automatically to pour the dust out. The tread wheels also allow the Lunar Voyager to adapt to the Moon’s surface and travel easily across the Moon, stirring up as little regolith as possible.
