Our project MoonMappers focuses on developing an autonomous robot designed to explore and map the Moon’s surface. The robot is intended to operate in a simulated lunar environment, where it can navigate terrain, identify materials, and detect subsurface structures such as lava tubes.
The project is carried out by a student-driven team of 6 students from the University of South-Eastern Norway, Campus Kongsberg. The team consists of students from electrical engineering, computer engineering, and mechanical engineering, working together to design, build, and test the robot.
The project will be presented at Kongsberg Agenda, a technology festival where student teams have the opportunity to compete with innovative solutions. Through this competition, the project aims to contribute to future space exploration and, in the long term, explore the potential of deploying similar robotic systems on the Moon.
By combining interdisciplinary collaboration with hands-on development, the project provides valuable experience in robotics, innovation, and problem-solving in a real-world technological context.
MoonMappers are a winner of the RS Student Fund
