| Description: | Today, more and more rovers are used in the space exploration sector, allowing scientists to look for answers on the Moon or even Mars, without exposing humans to space hazard. Since 1970, rovers have evolved more and more, to the point of becoming even affordable for students enabling them to develop their skills in space robotics. The Senseta rover, acquired by the International Space University (ISU) in 2010, is one of those. Given by NASA Ames, this educational robot provides a platform to work on the hardware and software of the rover. Additionally, it gives the opportunity to ISU to promote robotics in the space sectorto the public.Sadly though, the rover did not evolve since 2015, and the technologies used on this robot are now obsolete. Moreover, Senseta is not operational anymore due to the loss of some parts of the electronics. This individual project aims to make the rover operational again, using currently available technologies, as well as understanding the importance of rovers in the past, current, and future space exploration missions. |
