Projects
The team is focusing not only on preparing for the ERC competition, but also collaborating on a research project with the Czech Academy of Sciences and a space mission simulation with the Hydronaut Project.
European Rover Challenge (ERC)
The European Rover Challenge (ERC) is an international competition for space vehicles, known as rovers, held annually in Poland. University teams from around the world focus on the development and build of an autonomous Mars rover and drone. The aim is to showcase their results by completing assigned tasks: autonomous navigation, terrain mapping, sample collection and analysis, rover cooperation, autonomous data collection by drone, and operating a control panel using a robotic arm.
Mission PROMISE (Project Hydronaut)
A simulated journey to the moon and back involves Major Aleš Svoboda, a Czech astronaut, former combat pilot, ESA member, and quite possibly the next Czech to be sent into space in the future. The mission takes place in a unique European training center called Little Moon City Prague (LMCP). During the current planned simulated mission, various scientific experiments will be conducted, including an isolated "moonwalk" using virtual reality, where the crew will collect geological samples.
ExoMy rover
The six-wheeled ExoMy rover was designed by ESA’s Planetary Robotics Laboratory, which specializes in developing locomotion platforms and navigation systems to support ESA’s planetary exploration missions. Our members are using ExoMy to learn with Robot Operating System (ROS).
