About Us
We are the Carleton Planetary Rover Team,
a group of student engineers dedicated to building autonomous rovers that compete internationally.
Our team is made up of students from a diverse range of programs, united by our shared passion.
The work is split between five subteams, each crucial to the development of our rover.
Our Team
The Mechanical Team works on the robot’s design and build. Each year, they develop the chassis, suspension,
and robotic arm, making sure they are capable of handling the tough terrain and complex tasks of a simulated Mars.
The Electrical Team works on the inner mechanisms, developing the power systems, wiring,
and sensors that keep the rover running, regardless of condition.
The Science Team focuses on understanding the complex terrain the rover operates in. Using various tools and experiments,
they analyze soil and detect resources while simulating real planetary missions.
The Software Team builds autonomy, vision, and control systems that allow the rover to navigate
and operate with minimal input.
The Business and Administration Team manages sponsorships, outreach and logistics to ensure
the team has the adequate resources needed to succeed.
