OTTER One-Eleven
"This lunar AI robot is a robot that is going to travel on the moon to collect data on two things. One, stuff inside the craters that are on the moon. Two search for any form of water and/or ice.
Some cool parts to this rover include:
3 cylinders that are connected to the bottom of the rover, these 3 cylinders are eclipse with 11cm spikes all around it. The reason for this is that if the rover ever meets a place on the moon where the soil is light and deep, OTTER One-Eleven can still keep its traction and not get stuck! Another cool compartment of OTTER One-Eleven is that it has a 240 degree headlight running around its body, it also has 4 fully rotating long range cameras mounted inside the robot that can come out when needed. There are three double suspension wheels on each side of the rover. For when the rover is inspecting a crater, conveniently, two grabbers on each side of the rover can go and pick up whatever needs inspecting from inside the crater, this is only if there is an object that is fragile and is new to space exploration. To grab the material, you need a way to get to that material, this rover is equipped with a drill. This drill is named the Oddril, with a 1.23 meter at its circumference and the start to end length is 90cm! Another crazy compartment of OTTER One-Eleven is that it has an engineering toolkit stored inside the body, that is for if something happens to the AI robot, it is self-fixing! OTTER One-Eleven has a science soil analyzer also stored inside the pocket of the body, this is for when OTTER One-Eleven finds a patch of soil with water in it, it can take it in safely for analysis. The dimensions of OTTER One-Eleven is 4.0 meters(L), 3.0 meters(W), and 2.7 meters(H). OTTER One-Eleven can handle a max incline of 37 degrees!
Every 5 meters, OTTER One-Eleven will stop and point its cameras down toward the floor and take out its science soil analyzer and will put the soil through a analysis looking for any form of water! This rover can go up to a speed of 3km per hour and as slow as 0.3km per hour!
The sensors that this rover uses include a touch sensor, a color sensor, a movement sensor, a H2O sensor and a sound sensor! A third set of cameras on the LTS are the MastCams. They take 3D pictures, panoramic views, videos, and more. These are the cameras that actually search for the terrain where future rovers will do research. The NavCams and MastCams are mounted on 360 degree rotating poles which allow them to communicate to Earth. To be able to communicate with engineers on Earth, the LTS has a communication antenna. This is mounted on a jointed pole that allows it to be pointed to the Earth. A set of solar panels on the body of the LTS are the source of power for the rover. These take in light energy and store it in a large internal battery. The wheels on the LTS are designed similar to the VIPER, a lunar rover that NASA has created. They are hollow, metal, and look kind of like roof shingles placed in a circular shape. This design is good because the fact that they are hollow make them lightweight, metal is a sturdy material, and the shingle-like outside provides grip on the lunar terrain. Lastly, the gold foil that covers the body of the LTS protects it’s system from damage (i.e. flying sand)."
