Robotic Drilling Systems (formerly Seabed Rig) has signed an agreement with  the US space agency that will enable the company to access some of the most  advanced robotic software in the world.

The company hopes this will aid the development of its prototype autonomous  drill, designed to help the oil industry expand its operations, particularly  into more extreme environments, by overcoming the difficulties of recruiting  more experienced staff.
