Space Robotics & Analogue Trials

Autodiscovery is proud to be involved in UK space robotics research and development. We develop and support analogue rover platforms for space simulation, field trials, and autonomous navigation research in collaboration with leading UK space institutions.

MARVIN Analogue Rover

Mars Analogue Rover — Made in UK

6-wheel independently steered and driven rover developed with RAL Space. ExoMars suspension, 50 kg payload, ROS compatible. Ideal for long-range navigation and sample fetch analogue trials.

Autonomous Navigation

UK-developed autonomy stack for field robotics

Our UK R&D team develops autonomy software and sensor integration for challenging outdoor environments. ROS 2-based navigation, mapping, and telemetry solutions suitable for space analogue and field robotics missions.

UK Space Capability

Autodiscovery supports UK space robotics initiatives through:

• Design and manufacture of analogue rover platforms (Made in UK)
• Integration of space-grade sensor suites and communication systems
• ROS-based autonomy and navigation software development
• Field trial support and data collection infrastructure
• Collaboration with RAL Space, STFC and other UK research institutions

Our MARVIN rover is a prime example of Autodiscovery's capability to design, build, and integrate complex robotic systems for demanding environments. Contact us to discuss how we can support your space robotics programme.
