The rover's design was directly influenced by the shape-shifting robots of Hollywood. But instead of fighting Decepticons, it was tasked with navigating the rugged lunar terrain. According to Live Science, the rover successfully 'crawled' across the moon, sending back valuable information about the soil and surface conditions.
