Multidisciplinary Senior Design Project

NASA/ASU: Psyche Surface Explorer

Side-by-side photos of RIT students and activities with the text See How RIT is Advancing the Exceptional underneath.

Our project focuses on a 6-legged robotic explorer that traverses the hypothetical surface of the Psyche asteroid. We will demonstrate the movement capabilities of our explorer in a variety of conditions. There will also be some videos and prototypes from the development of our explorer. Visitors will have a chance to drive the explorer themselves with a modified PS2 controller doing basic cardinal direction motions in varied movement schemes within a roped off area.
