XRover

- Philip Maksimovic
The goal of XROVER is to add relay capabilities and terrain (defined in requirements) driving abilities to the multi-rover system developed by ReMuS and R3. The legacy MR/CR navigation system will be updated from its current 2D detection and data transfer abilities to 3D detection and data transfer and relay capability. Three-dimensional navigation data is required for XROVER's goal to be accomplished because the terrain presents elevation and orientation differences between rovers. With relay and 3D drive capabilities, the multi-rover system will be able to traverse the terrain and explore locations of interest that are obstructed from the MR. Using the R3 imaging system, reconnaissance imagery of the location of interest will be sent to the MR from the mission CR. Once the relay CR and mission CR traverse back to and dock with the MR, the mission is completed.
