The Introduction to Rover Engineering programme teaches you how to build and control mobile robots. Over four weeks, you’ll assemble your own rover platform and progressively add systems such as motor control, sensors, obstacle avoidance, and basic autonomy.
This programme is ideal for students interested in robotics, mechanical design, or control systems.
Assemble your rover chassis and drivetrain
Learn motor control and servo systems
Integrate sensors for navigation and obstacle detection
Develop simple autonomous behaviours
Test your rover in real indoor and outdoor environments
Rover engineering is highly multidisciplinary; combining mechanics, electronics, and programming. It’s a perfect introduction to robotics and a direct pathway into ManSEDS’ Olympus Rover Trials and Lunabotics UK teams.
