The idea
The robots already exist. What is missing is the work of putting them to use: sourcing proven platforms, adapting them with design partners, integrating tools and workflows, and operating them alongside real teams, including analog mission crews.
The fleet
Different roles, one coordinated fleet. Every engagement starts with an assignment, such as inspection rounds, route surveys, equipment handling or resupply.
Crew Unit
Equipment handling, experiment support, inspection rounds and day-to-day field operations.
Sec Unit
Patrol, situational awareness, anomaly investigation, crew escort and emergency support.
Scout Unit
Route assessment, site surveys, mapping and remote observation.
Work Unit
Material handling, infrastructure assembly, maintenance and construction support.
Cargo Unit
Equipment transport, resupply and logistics between teams, facilities and future outposts.
What I built
The website, and the mission software for supervised analog EVA missions: operator leases, command pulses, a watchdog and e-stop, and evidence debriefs after each run. It runs against a simulator today.
