Solar based Rocker Bogie Rover for Planetary Surface Exploration

The Solar-Based Rocker Bogie Rover is a cutting-edge, IoT-capable robotic vehicle built for efficient transportation in unseemly landscapes. The device utilizes solar energy via a solar panel that harvests energy from sunlight in the form of electrical energy stored within a battery to provide an ongoing supply. The voltage sensor also keeps a watchful eye on the state of the battery for effective power handling. ESP32 microcontroller is the processor hub that maintains real-time sensing information and directs many components. An ultrasonic sensor is used for detecting obstacles so that the rover can move safely without colliding with anything. A motor driver controls the speed of the motors so that it can move in any direction with accuracy. The rocker bogie mechanism offers better stability and flexibility on rough terrain, which is ideal for planetary exploration and off-road use. A servo motor changes its angle according to distance information, which improves maneuverability for difficult terrain. IoT integration supports remote monitoring and control, offering real-time energy consumption, battery condition, and navigation route data. The rover also has a modular design, making it customizable to suit specific uses, e.g., space exploration, military reconnaissance, and search and rescue operations. Future improvements can be the use of AI for navigation and more sophisticated environmental sensors to enable better performance under harsh conditions.
