Watch MARS in action - Remote surveying robot for environmental data collection
MARS (Modern Automotive for Remote Surveying) is a remote surveying robot designed to move autonomously or through remote control to collect environmental data from areas where satellite imaging fails to provide accurate insights, such as dense forests or uneven terrains.
The robot collects data using its onboard sensors and transmits it to a backend database, where it is processed and visualized through an intuitive user interface (UI). Users can then make informed decisions based on real-time environmental data.
Equipped with Bluetooth connection module. Operates via an external controller similar to an RC car.
Multi-purpose arm for sample collection, seed planting, and waste collection. Controlled using the same controller as the vehicle.
Tracks humidity, temperature, sound levels, flame presence, and water levels. Includes Wi-Fi module for backend communication.
Features a gyroscope and joystick module for motion and arm control. Supports multiple input states for flexible operations.
Integrated drone system for high-ground surveying. Uses machine learning to generate regional maps. Contains the same sensor array as the ground vehicle.
Detects and follows colored paths autonomously. Allows the robot to perform periodic data collection over predefined routes.
Users can record and store movement sequences. MARS can later replay those exact paths autonomously.
