Mars Rover Mechanical Design – European Rover Challenge | CAD Design

This project represents a Mars Rover mechanical design developed for the European Rover Challenge and awarded 1st position at the national level. The rover was designed and built to perform planetary exploration tasks including terrain navigation, soil probing, and sample interaction under simulated Martian conditions. The design features a robust suspension system for uneven terrain, a modular chassis architecture, and specialized mechanisms for drilling and soil sampling. Emphasis was placed on mechanical reliability, weight optimization, and real-world functional performance. The rover successfully demonstrated autonomous and semi-autonomous operations during competition scenarios. This project showcases hands-on experience in space robotics, mechanical system integration, and functional prototype development. The design was fully realized, tested, and publicly demonstrated as part of an international robotics competition. This project has been publicly published and successfully competed in an international robotics challenge. #marsrover, #spacerobotics, #robotic #arm, #mechanicaldesign, #engineeringprototype
