AXIOS is our 4th Generation Mars Rover Prototype. The upgraded carbon fiber chassis, paired with newly optimized 3D-printed wheels, delivers optimal suspension and traction, enabling AXIOS to navigate demanding terrain with precision and reliability.
The rover navigates autonomously using an advanced system that clears obstacles, replans paths, and recovers from challenges. It combines data from a depth camera, GPS, and motion sensors for precise movement. With LiDAR and cameras, it detects and avoids obstacles in real time, including potholes. A smart object detection system identifies items from up to 16 meters away, while another system tracks special markers for navigation. A dashboard at the base station displays key mission updates, and all processing runs on a powerful Jetson AGX Orin, ensuring smooth and reliable performance in tough environments.

The system analyzes soil and atmospheric conditions to identify habitable sites. A Raman spectrometer selects the top two locations. The wet lab detects key biomolecules, while the science wrist enables contamination-free sampling. Soil sensors assess habitability, and a regolith collector gathers samples. A panorama camera surveys terrain, with all data integrated into a central dashboard for real-time monitoring.
