MARS ROVER TEAM

10+ year old student-led team incubated at IIT Bombay which aims to build rovers that are capable of performing extra-terrestrial robotics, capable of autonomous traversal and, perform onboard tests to detect extinct and extant lives

ABOUT US

The IITB Mars Rover Team was founded in 2012 with the goal of understanding the science and engineering behind building a rover for the red planet. The team has grown to be a platform for experimentation and production of rover prototypes, similar to how NASA has produced rovers such as the Pathfinder. The team has its own line of 6 rovers that have been upgraded to become more advanced and robust over time.
