EEE Lunar Rover

EEE Lunar Rover

A WiFi-controlled rover that drives across a mock lunar surface, hunts down artificial rocks, and reads their signals to work out what type each one is.

  • Awarded Best First Year Project 2026 at Imperial College London
  • I designed, tested, and debugged the infrared and magnetic circuits, and soldered three of the four sensor boards
  • Built a separate analogue circuit for each of the four sensors, then combined them onto one PCB
  • Chose Ackermann steering over differential drive so the rover wouldn't drift when its motors weren't perfectly matched
  • Controlled and monitored live from a browser over WiFi
