Mars Rover Manipal is a student-based project from Manipal Institute of Technology, a constituent of Manipal Academy of Higher Education, which aims to design, build, and test a Rover that can traverse and perform tasks on Mars-simulated terrain, with the goal of supporting human exploration of the red planet. The team was founded in 2014 by three budding engineers who wanted to explore the robotic scenario in Mars exploration. Since then, the team has grown to 34 students spread across six subsystems achieving numerous things

The Team 2020

Mars Rover Manipal (MRM) is the Manipal Academy of Higher Education’s flagship Mars Exploration student project. The project primarily comprises like-minded engineering students from Manipal Institute of Technology, interested in learning to ideate and contribute to robotics and interplanetary missions. MRM represents India in various international competitions like the University Rover Challenge (URC) and various sub competitions. MRM has six subsystems which work together:

• The Mechanical subsystem is responsible for the core designing aspect, including the wheels, suspension, chassis, robotic manipulator, and the soil collection mechanism.

• The Science team is responsible for complete analysis of the biological, geological, and chemical aspects of a given area and analysis of samples collected. It determines the presence of life whether extinct or extant
• The Automation & AI subsystem is an essential part of the project. It deals with processing and integrating different aspects of the rover without human interference. The subsystem also deals with designing deep learning architectures to solve the various state of the art problems encountered during rover development.

• The Electronic & Control System subsystem develops and implements robust control systems for Traversal, Robotic Arm Control, and the Science Module. The systems include PCB Design, Analog Electronics, Wireless Communication, GUI Development, as well as Microcontroller Programming.

• The Research team works on cutting edge research on all types of robotics. The team has presented several research papers at national and international conferences in the fields of AI, Robotics, and Electronics.

• The Management department is responsible for all of the non-technical work of the team. It ensures that everything runs smoothly in the project. The Management team brings in sponsorships, publicizes the project, maintains the social media pages and the website, handles the financial responsibilities, and does the Graphics and Video Editing.
