Lunar Surface Mobility Coordinator Software (MCoor-TP)

Active NASA Game Changing Development project led by Ames Research Center to mature a modular Mobility Coordinator for lunar and planetary robots. The software combines path following and mobility coordination with per-wheel state estimation and control, optimizing traversal of rugged granular terrain and supporting future ISRU, autonomous construction, and expanded lunar surface access across rover configurations.
