DLR RM | The LRU Rover for Autonomous Planetary Exploration and its Success in the SpaceBotCamp Challenge @DLRRMC | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 7 hours ago
The Robotics and Mechatronics Center (RMC) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) participated as team RMexplores! in the SpaceBot Camp with great success. Organized by the DLR Space Administration, the Spacebot Camp posed a challenging task: A robot had to explore a moon-like GPS-denied environment, locate and collect two objects and assemble them after transport to a third object. All tasks had to be completed by the robots as autonomous as possible and without any help from external sensors. Our Lightweight Rover Unit (LRU) was the only robot to fulfill all mandatory tasks within the original specification - in just thirty minutes, half of the given time frame, and fully autonomous.
