ROBOT SPACE EXPLORERS in THE teide NATIONAL

park. TENERIFE

The Teide National Park in Tenerife is being

used as a proving ground for space robots which could provide feedback during future exploratory missions to Mars, Mercury or the Moon like to find water,etc

El Teide National Park

"El Teide" National Park has a good

weather, its flat landscape with fine textures of volcanic sand, pebbles and occasional rocky outcrops are similar to those encountered on the surface of Mars.

A Martian landscape

Most robotic planetary space missions performing in situ exploration of the surface and atmosphere for any planetary object outside the Earth involve a means of mobility provided by either a surface vehicle (rover) or by aerial vehicles (e.g. balloons).

El Teide National Park

Was made up by a

group of students from the Polytechnic University of Madrid.

The robot consists of aluminum and carbon fiber wheels is still under construction.

It was designed and built at the University of

Bremen, Germany It was the winner of the ESA Lunar Robotics

The PRoVisG team will be taking various

imaging (camera) systems, to not only test their performance but also to gather image data on which to exercise the software they are writing to confirm how well it works. 

The Rover will also be carrying high tech drilling equipment and distance measuring equipment that are being developed for future interplanetary robotic missions.

The Bridget Rover is tested in The Teide

National Park on Thursday 12 December 2013

The PRoVisG Rover system allows us to produce enriched 3D models of the environment and gather data that is really useful for science.

It was taken to the Canaries by the

Aberystwyth University’s Department of Computer Science (UK) in13th and 17th September 2012.

Idris Robot

ProViScout is a collaborative EU project

funded under the 7th Framework Programme, which brings together major European groups to work on planetary and space exploration with no human intervention.

Idris is located within the Project ProViScout (Planetary Robotics Vision Scout) , funded by the  European Commission under the  Seventh Framework Programme , on the  subject of space 

ProViScout

The robot Idris created by

Prifysgol Aberystwyth University weighs 300 kilos and is capable of lifting 100. 

Among its qualities, it also highlights their ability to select visual information and send the data to the control center. 

It captures an area of 30x30 meters map and move independently. The novelty is that it detects the important rocks, those that have scientific interest.

The Robot Idris

The rover locates the target, goes to him and

through camera stores information and sends it

scientists have placed 2.20 meters tall robot, acting as eyes and added horizontal movement and elevation.

Although it is capable of storing the information and send it from Mars to Earth, between a planet and a there is a delay in the submission of 20 minutes, so that the rover moves centimeters per second

in the Teide-test this model will not

be the same as do the mission to Mars incorporates laser and rubber wheels.
