The MAMMOTH Rover project is focused on researching new ways to improve the mobility of planetary rovers. This project uses the Robotics System Toolbox to collect data from an RGB-D sensor which is then analyzed and results sent to 16 actuators located throughout the rover to alter its shape. By utilizing hardware-in-the-loop, this group was able to rapidly design and test their project. The result was an impressive video that displayed how well the MAMMOTH rover is able to overcome the various challenges that it could face while on a different planet.
