Projects
The team is focusing not only on preparing for international rover competitions but also collaborating on a research project with the Czech Academy of Sciences and a space mission simulation with the Hydronaut project.
European Rover Challenge (ERC)
Competition · Poland · every year
The European Rover Challenge (ERC) is an international competition for space vehicles, known as rovers, held annually in Poland. University teams from around the world focus on the development and build of an autonomous Mars rover and drone. The aim is to showcase their results by completing assigned tasks: autonomous navigation, terrain mapping, sample collection and analysis, rover cooperation, autonomous data collection by drone, and operating a control panel using a robotic arm.
Anatolian Rover Challenge
Competition · METU, Ankara · 29. 7. – 1. 8. 2026
An international rover competition run by the Space Exploration Society (UKET) in Turkey, with story-driven missions set on the Moon, Mars and Earth. Teams from all over the world take part. In 2026 we took PERUN Gen 3 to METU in Ankara, finished 7th in the finals and won the award for the best electronics.
Mission PROMISE (Project Hydronaut)
Mission simulation · Little Moon City Prague
Mission PROMISE was a simulated journey to the Moon and back with Major Aleš Svoboda, a Czech astronaut, former combat pilot and ESA member. It took place at Little Moon City Prague (LMCP), a unique European training centre on the Dejvice campus. The crew carried out a range of scientific experiments, including an isolated moonwalk in virtual reality to collect geological samples, and our first rover, PERUN Gen 1, took part in that virtual-reality moonwalk.
ExoMy rover
Learning platform · designed by ESA
The six-wheeled ExoMy rover was designed by ESA’s Planetary Robotics Laboratory, which specializes in developing locomotion platforms and navigation systems to support ESA’s planetary exploration missions. Our members are using ExoMy to learn with Robot Operating System (ROS) or 3D printing and CAD.
