The Aberystwyth experimental rover is a half-size ExoMars rover chassis. It is based upon the ESA ExoMars rover Concept-E mechanics. The rover has 6 wheel drive, 6 wheel steering, and a 6 wheel walking capability (3 DoF per wheel). The rover supports a panoramic camera instrument (PanCam emulator) and a 3 DoF robot arm – both AU designed and built. The rover also has onboard computing and communication facilities. Specialised server software provides remote access to all of the rover’s systems and facilities.
