Adventurer finding scientists testing a robot in the desert

An adventurer who likes to explore desolate places in the South-West USA, found some scientists testing a prototype robot at a sinkhole in a desert in Utah. As the discussion in this video indicates, the later developed robot may be used to explore pits on the moon.
