Rover Platform
A multi-purpose field scanner: a mobile base built to carry swappable sensor payloads across a search area. The initial payload is a phased array metal detector, but the chassis and control stack are designed to host any ground-survey sensor suite.
What it is
The rover is the physical, field-going platform — chassis, drive system, power, navigation, and compute. It is intentionally sensor-agnostic so the same robot can be repurposed beyond metal detecting.
Planned payloads
- Phased array metal detectors (PI and VLF)
- Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
- Magnetometer arrays
- LiDAR terrain mapping
- Multispectral cameras
- Environmental sensors
System stack
The top-level architecture spans the chassis and drive train, power distribution, the main compute platform, GPS/IMU navigation, comms, and a ground station. Design docs, firmware, and build notes live in the repo.
