AI Desert Explorer Robot

A semi-autonomous robotic explorer designed to traverse desert terrain and collect visual, environmental, and spatial data in areas difficult or unsafe for humans to access.

Purpose / Use Case

• Explore remote or harsh desert environments

• Capture ground-level imagery and video of wildlife and landscapes

• Collect environmental sensor data while mobile

• Serve as a platform for robotics, AI, and field-tech experimentation

• Educational demonstration of real-world robotics in nature

Key Features

• Raspberry Pi–based control system

• Motorized rover or tracked chassis

• Camera module for live view, recording, or AI vision

• Environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, light, etc.)

• Remote control (Wi-Fi / Bluetooth) with future autonomous navigation

• Expandable with AI models for object or species detection

Status

Concept → early prototyping phase

Media

• Concept art & rover mockups (planned)

• Wiring diagrams & control flow charts (planned)

• Field test photos and videos (future)
