Akrula 1.0
Akrula 1.0 was the 1st-ever prototype developed by the IITB Mars Rover Team, launched in 2015. Equipped with advanced sensors, powerful computing systems, and robust mobility features, Akrula 1.0 was designed to navigate the harsh terrains of Mars with ease.
Agathsya 1.0
Agathsya 1.0, the second Mars rover prototype by the IITB Mars Rover Team, was built in 0. It features advanced navigational systems, data-gathering cameras, and a powerful AI capable of real-time object detection and data analysis.
Agathsya 2.0
Agathsya 2.0, the third Mars rover prototype developed in 2017, pushed the boundaries of exploration on the Red Planet. With advanced camera and sensor technology, it could explore farther and faster than its predecessors.
Hemant 1.0
Hemant 1.0, the fourth Mars rover prototype built in 2018, combined cutting-edge AI with an innovative design, enabling it to navigate even the harshest Martian terrain
Agruni 1.0
Agruni 1.0, the fifth Mars rover prototype developed by the IITB Mars Rover Team, also proudly represented India at the University Rover Challenge.
Yash
Yash is equipped with LiDAR and autonomous mapping capabilities, enabling it to navigate complex obstacle courses by autonomously following directional arrows.
Tezant
Tezant, the eighth Mars rover prototype developed in 2022-23, features a new 6-DOF robotic arm with full 360° base rotation for enhanced versatility.
Amaran
Amaran is the ninth-generation Mars rover prototype developed by the IITB Mars Rover Team in 2024. Featuring a modular design with rugged all-terrain mobility, it combines precise robotic manipulation with advanced vision-based navigation for autonomous operation in challenging environments.
