Ground exploration robots development
The GRound Autonomous Student Station (GRASS) has as its objective to get students acquainted to spacial robotics through the design and development of an autonomous rover with features such as terrain recognition, sample retrieving, and obstacle evasion and movement.
The mission is multidisciplinar, with members ranging from aerospace engineering to industrial and electrical engineering, with all its systems developed by mission members in collaboration with external businesses like HP and its MultiJet Fusion.
The mission started in 2017 with the construction of mechanical parts and a first iteration of the electronics and engines, but due to the mission members finishing their studies, the mission was stopped.
