The University of Waterloo Robotics Team (UWRT) is an engineering student design team who’s . Our mission is to develop real world applicable robotic systems with primary focus on the development of a Mars rover. Rover
UWRT is preparing to compete in the University Rover Challenge (URC), where competitors need to develop a Mars rover capable of completing a multitude of tasks. There are 4 sets of tasks that the rover needs to complete, listed as the following:
Science Mission: Retrieve soil samples, test and analyze them for signs of life.
...
Autonomy Mission: Autonomously navigate to designated GSNN GNSS coordinates
Equipment Servicing: Perform dexterous tasks on a mock-up equipment station using a robotic arm.
...
Designing or modifying parts in SolidWorks
Drafting 2D drawings that adequately communicate your engineering design
Performing SolidWorks FEA and multibody multi-physics simulations using SimulationX
Completing Writing project design reports
Aiding in the manufacturing of the various parts of our mechanical systems
Sourcing electro-mechanical components for system needs
Designing subsystems from the ground up such as the a gimbal camera, communications mount, or the science module.
