Title:

ME & CS Lunacats URC Presentation

The purpose of this project is to compete in the annual NASA Robotic Mining Competition. For this competition, our robot will autonomously drive on a field that has a simulated martian surface. Our robot will use a placard and a mounted camera with two degrees of freedom to determine its location on the field, and then use 4 lidar sensors to avoid obstacles. The robot will be constructed of an aluminum frame, a mining system, a deposit system, and wheels. The robot is going to navigate through an obstacle zone containing various pits and rocks, mine simulated regolith, drive back through the obstacle zone, and then deposit the regolith in a collector trough. The robot will repeat this process for 15 minutes, and collect as much gravel as it can.
