About Me

A photo of me at my wedding

Welcome to my user page! My name is Andrew Mattson. I am a student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) pursuing a combined Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science.

Before continuing here, you can find a whole lot more about me on my website. Below is the information most relevant to Aurora Robotics.

Academic and Professional Background

At UAF, I lead the Aurora Robotics Team while taking classes full-time.

Current Projects

• LUMINSim (my master's thesis): I am working on developing a robotic simulator for lunar mining and infrastructure, named 'LUMINSim' (Lunar Mining and Infrastructure Network Simulator), built to simulate the LUMIN system. This project is integral to my master's thesis, and involves aspects of autonomous control, communication, and terrain generation using Godot 4.4 and C++.
• I am the administrator of this MediaWiki page!

Past Projects

• NASA X-HAB 2025: I led the Aurora Robotics Team at UAF in NASA's X-Hab Academic Innovation Challenge for 2024-2025.
• NASA BreakTheIce Challenge: I contributed some anti-collision logic to the LUNATIC control stack for the Excahauler robot.
