The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics was part of the PERASPERA Space Robotics Technologies Cluster in the operational grants OG3 and OG6. In that context, the research group participated in the 2018 November/December field test in the Moroccan desert close to the city of Erfoud.
Apart from the participation in PERASPERA, many other datasets for testing of autonomous navigation algorithms were recorded at several very distinctive sites in an Mars-analogue-environment and can be downloaded at
