This article presents a conceptual design of the space mining robot taking into account the associated challenges. It concentrates on key points such as extraction tools, system mobility, and control mechanisms. Both Finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamic were applied to evaluate the system behavior under extreme environmental space conditions. The proposed design useful insights for efficient, durable, and autonomous futuristic robots for space mining services that pave the way for cost-effective resource extraction in the space environment. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
