HDPR - Heavy Duty Planetary Rover
The HDPR is a rover test platform for high-speed medium payload tests in outdoor conditions (IP4). It has a design consisting of a 6-wheeled locomotion system (6x6x4) with 2 rocker-bogie passive suspension. It is a high-speed medium-size payload carrying rover locomotion platform with a remarkable payload to mass ratio. It is equipped with various camera systems and with a GPS receiver.

ExoTeR - ExoMars Testing Rover
The ExoMars Testing Rover is a half-scale reproduction of the ExoMars rover that mimics the locomotion and navigation subsystems of the real rover. It also incorporates a 5-DoF arm manipulator and on-board sensors for localisation and navigation

RAT - Rover Autonomy Testbed
RAT is an end-to-end technology testing environment for investigating the level of autonomy most appropriate to specific communications constraints. RAT integrates the Lunar Rover Model (LRM), and a control ground station, connected through a communication-tweaker that allows simulation of different bandwidths, delays and jitter.

MaRTA - Martian Rover for Testing Autonomy
MaRTA is the latest developed rover platform and currently under development for its avionics integration (Feb 2017). Designed to mimic a half-scaled ExoMars rover prototype (including six wheel steering) it incorporates the latest design choices and lessons learnt from previous lab developments. MaRTa will eventually replace the ExoTeR rover which has been intensively tested for the last 5 years.

Mars Analogue Terrain
Laboratory's Indoor Testing Mars YardThe Mars Analogue Terrain is a square 9m by 9m terrain ‘sandbox’ filled with different sizes of sand, gravel and rock designed according to models of a Martian terrain. It is equipped with a fixed installation of a motion capture measurement system, the VICON Motion Capture Camera System that provides ground truth localisation data of the subjects tracked, which can be a rover body pose or positioning of sensor subsystems or interfacing structures.The terrain is used for initial prototype testing and debugging of algorithms and as means of maturing technology to be later tested in more representative environments.Small- to mid-size rovers are tested in the Mars yard to demonstrate locomotion or navigation capabilities over a planetary surface of different terrain characteristics. Latest significant testing campaigns that the reader can be referred to are the Wheel Walking Tests executed in November 2014 which results were published in the last ASTRA conference of 2015 (ESTEC, Noordwijk). A link to the conference presentation can be found on the right side of this webpage.

Lab instrumentation
COMAU NJ130 Industrial RobotThe COMAU robot arm has been setup and used in the scope of the GNC Robotics Testbed activity with the main goal of combining the elements of the GNC laboratory with the robotics facility and use the resulting test bed to integrate GNC scenarios that simulate the EDL or Rendezvous trajectory of a spacecraft.
