An interactive exhibit I'm designing for Techmania Science Center: three lunar rovers that museum visitors can drive themselves.
What it is
An interactive exhibit in design for Techmania Science Center in Plzeň: a fleet of three lunar rovers on a Moon terrain where visitors step up to the controls and drive the rovers themselves.
What exhibit hardware demands
- Three rovers sharing one arena and radio space simultaneously without interfering with each other.
- Controls intuitive enough for a visitor who just walked up, backed by telemetry that keeps the fleet out of trouble.
- Mechanics, electronics and charging designed for all-day museum hands-on operation rather than a single weekend demo.
Stack
- 3× rover fleet
- Embedded control
- Radio telemetry
- Custom electronics
- CAD & ruggedised chassis
