BRACU Mongol Tori: Next Generation Mars Exploration Rover
This is an incremental project for a student competition, aimed at supporting early Mars exploration.
BRAC University designed a Mars rover for the University Rover Challenge, capable of autonomous and manual operation to analyze soil and weathering on Mars.
BRAC University (BRACU) has participated in the University Rover Challenge (URC), a robotics competition for university level students organized by the Mars Society to design and build a rover that would be of use to early explorers on Mars. BRACU has designed and developed a full functional next-generation mars rover, Mongol Tori, which can be operated in the extreme, hostile condition expected in planet Mars. Not only has Mongol Tori embedded with both autonomous and manual controlled features to functionalize, it can also capable of conducting scientific tasks to identify the characteristics of soils and weathering in the mars environment.
