The «Rover Challenge» competition provides an environment for students to gain real-world engineering and project management experience. In 2024, the competition consisted of four main tasks.
- ASTROBIOLOGY EXPEDITION (ABEx). The rover fills the role of mobile science laboratory, searching for signs of life with the variety of atmospheric and geological equipment.
- RECONNAISSANCE AND DELIVERY OPERATION (RDO). The Rover has to traverse challenging terrain to locate and several objects of interest and deliver them to designated coordinates.
- INSTRUMENT DEPLOYMENT AND MAINTENANCE OPERATION (ID&MO). The rovers traverses a short distance to operate on a mock-up instrument panel to perform a set of precise operations.
- Project Implementation and Management Assessment (PIMA&BPP) procedure. PIMA&BPP procedure is a presentation of project implementation and assessment of its management.
On all stages the operators do not have a line of sight with the rover. They control it using only sensor and camera data.
January 24-29, 2024.
Venue: PSG iTech, Coimbatore, India.
