Welcome to the Aurora Robotics Wiki
Welcome to the official wiki for Aurora Robotics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks! Our team focuses on the research, design, and development of autonomous robotics solutions for extreme environments, particularly for lunar exploration and construction.
About Us
The Aurora Robotics Team is a multidisciplinary group of students and faculty working on various projects aimed at advancing robotics technology for lunar infrastructure. Our team collaborates with NASA and other partners to explore solutions for challenges in lunar mining, habitat construction, and autonomous navigation.
Current Projects
- LAMP (Lunar, Autonomous, Modular, Platform): A versatile, modular robotic platform designed to serve as the "hands" of the LUMIN control system. LAMP is capable of executing a wide range of construction and transport tasks on the lunar surface. The current iteration focuses on building lunar garages and handling various infrastructure-related activities.
- LUMIN (LUnar Mining and Infrastructure Network): The overarching control software for all lunar operations managed by our team. LUMIN acts as the central command system, integrating platforms like LAMP to create a seamless operational network. Its adaptability and modularity allow for managing tasks ranging from autonomous construction to resource allocation.
- LUMINSim: A lunar robotic simulator for LUMIN used to test and refine autonomous robot designs, guiding the development of platforms like LAMP for lunar operations.
- X-Hab 2025 NASA Proposal: The current case study for the implementation of the LUMIN and LAMP systems.
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop cutting-edge robotics solutions that address the challenges of lunar exploration and construction. By building autonomous systems like LAMP and control networks like LUMIN, we aim to contribute to the advancement of human presence on the Moon and beyond.
