Overview
Project PERUN GEN 2 is our best student rover. PERUN is an abbreviation for Planetary Exploration Rover with Unmanned Navigation. It is a nearly 70kg beast that is not scared of rough enviroments or complex tasks. It has an arsenal of tools and sensors to help it take on any challange. Designed and created entirely by CTU Robotics team.

Robotic Arm
The 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) Robotic Arm (RA) mounted on the rover is a custom-built, high-performance manipulator designed to perform advanced maintenance and dexterous manipulation tasks in unstructured terrain. It integrates perception, control, and robust mechanical design to meet the requirements of the ERC 2025 competition. The use of 3D-printed high-performance nylon parts (PA12) provides shock absorption, reduced weight, and structural resilience during transportation and operation.

Chassis
The skeleton of the rover is the chassis. It consist of steel frame of the rocker bogie suspension with 6 wheels and the main box from aluminium profiles and protected by variety of plastic materials. The box's design gives team a lot of modularity to work with when designing everything that is attached to it, from electronics to robotic arm.

Electronics
Electronics on board can be measured by kilograms and if software would weight something, it would be too. Deparment of electronics and software are one of the fastest changing parts on the machine and they give rover its computing power and bring it alive. It can be constroled by an operator or by developing autonomus system of its own.

Drill tool
The sampling system is designed to collect samples of marsian regolith or dirt. In compentitions, it is required to sample up to 30cm into the ground measured by colored sand. Drill tool has a motorized auger bit, automatical closing lid and containers for storing samples. A precise weighting sensor is part of the design.
Drilling depth 30 cm
