ITU Rover Team
ITU Rover Team is an Istanbul Technical University student space-robotics team founded in 2016. Students independently develop the rover’s mechanical, electronic and software systems, including its chassis, six-axis manipulator and science laboratory. Mechanical, electronics, software, science, organization and design subteams integrate the hardware for exploration and equipment-servicing tasks. The team competed with ITU AXA ROVER at the 2026 European Rover Challenge, finishing 18th overall. Its earlier results include second place and a robot-arm award at ERC 2021 and third place and a presentation award at ERC 2022.
