The Auggie 2000 Bot is a robot that doesn’t need a remote controller and runs off of satellite energy. There is a satellite dish on the top of the prototype. It's 2 feet in height, 2 feet in length, and 2 feet in width. It collects lunar dust with a prosthetic shovel that expands 1 foot and if the lunar dust is hard to scoop up there is a drill bit that can also expand 1 foot to help. There is a sticky pad on the prosthetic shovel in case lunar dust builds up and becomes too thick to fall off or to collect new lunar dust. There is a handle at the top of the prototype that lifts up so that the scooper can pour the lunar dust into the top where it can be stored and emptied once filled. The lunar dust is stored at NASA’s Artemis base.
