NASA Lunabotics Rover

Overview

Competed as part of Florida Tech's team in NASA's annual Lunabotics Mining Competition, where university teams design and build robots capable of autonomously excavating simulated lunar regolith. The competition is held at UCF's Florida Space Institute and challenges teams to engineer systems that could one day support real in-situ resource utilization on the Moon. The project ran the full academic year, from initial design through fabrication, integration, and competition.

Highlights

•Contributed to rover mechanism design and structural fabrication to withstand competition terrain and operational loads
•Developed and integrated the test plans to validate mechanical and electrical subsystems under simulated lunar conditions
•Participated in full systems integration testing and iterative mechanical refinement throughout the academic year
•Competed at UCF's Florida Space Institute among university teams from across the country
