Remember a little while back, when we tested GORM on an official military track? Well, we're back for round 2 🔔

Last friday, we headed back to what is quickly becoming one of our favorite testing locations. And with our new RTAB-map and Nav2 technology implemented, we were more excited than ever 🤩 This time, we luckily made it through without our little GORM breaking 💪😎

And as if that wasn't enough, we even had the luxury of being transported in (and using) Aalborg Universitet's drone van 🔥 It's pimped out with monitors for observation, and chairs for maximum comfort 🤓 But don't worry, we also brought our smaller, transportable setup to keep the connection stable ⚙

🚀 What a week already! Our AAU Space Robotics Team had the honour of participating in the Space Conference 2025.

🌍 This conference allowed us to connect with inspiring leaders and researchers across Europe on themes of space sustainability, autonomy, and competitiveness. And it was a way to showcase our robotics work, exchange ideas with peers and industry, and gain new perspectives to fuel our next phase of innovation. We were reminded that student teams like us and Satlab are not just “nice to have” but that we are an important part of the future infrastructure of space-tech, satellites, robotics and more.

Plus, we got to meet everyone’s favourite astronaut Andreas Mogensen.

🤖 Another highlight from the conference was attending the panel sessions with our favourite Associate Professor Simon Bøgh where he discussed the crucial role of autonomous robotics and AI in future space missions, especially on the Moon and Mars. As Simon explained, these distant environments demand systems that can operate independently, make real-time decisions, and adapt to unpredictable conditions where communication with Earth is delayed or limited. AI-driven robots will be essential for building habitats, maintaining infrastructure, and conducting scientific exploration in places where humans can’t always be present.

💪 As a team, we are motivated and equipped to bring what we learned into our upcoming projects, collaborating across disciplines, pushing the boundaries of robotics in space, and helping Aalborg University / Denmark in becoming the leading experts within this field.

🙌 A huge thank you to all the amazing people we met at the conference for their generosity, insights and energy. To everyone we met, and everyone watching: if you’d like to connect on future student space robotics projects, collaborations or just a chat about space robotics, we’d love to hear from you!

The AAU Space Robotics team is back from the ESA - European Space Agency’s LUNA Lab after an incredible week competing in the Space Resource Challenge!

Together with our partners from , we demonstrated our Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for in-situ resource utilization, working in the lunar yard to collect and process simulated lunar regolith for oxygen extraction.

For those unfamiliar, combines:
• The AAU Space Robotics rover system
• A manipulator excavation system made by the SpaceR team from University of Luxembourg
• A beneficiation unit from Maana Electric

It’s been a fantastic experience collaborating with such talented teams and testing our technologies in realistic lunar conditions.
We will be sharing many more pictures and videos from the LUNA lab in the coming weeks when they are cleared by ESA.

🚀 Want to meet G.O.R.M, our rover? Come find us at the Space Conference 2025, hosted by Aalborg Universitet this Monday and Tuesday!

Flying across the country is one thing - driving out of the country may not be as prestiege, but it's definitely way more exciting 🚗💨

Our tech lead, Anton, and rover lead, Jens, have flown all the way to Luxembourg, where G.O.R.M. will undergo rigorous testing over the next couple of days, before the long-awaited trip to European Space Agency - ESA in Cologne (Köln) 🤩🔥

While in Luxembourg they're staying at University of Luxembourg, where they will be working closely with our partners from the university testing their robotic arm and Maana Electric's sorting system for extracting oxygen and valuable materials from dust and sand on the moon 🌕🚀

This might seem like a lot of upgrades, testing and hard work for our G.O.R.M., but he's not even close to his full potential yet 😈🥇So be sure to stay updated in the upcoming weeks, because a lot of exciting stuff is going down 😎

We're so back... just like last year at De Studerendes Erhvervskontakt (DSE) today and tomorrow (08-09 Oct.) 😎🔥

We're here and ready to answer all the questions you didn't get to ask at our Open House - or if you just want to drop by and say "Hi 🥺👉👈". See you out here 🤗

Excuse me, just dumping some photos of our trip to ERC2025, don't mind me 💅

We wanted to share with you some more pictures from . At the time of our first post, we didn't have access to some of the photos because they were taken by ERC themselves 🤳❌

Over the duration of the competition, we had the chance to meet and talk with both organizers and other teams, to get insight into where to improve, and how to do it 😎⚙ But while we got insight in how to improve our Rover, the other teams were very interested in our drone - we had a little trade of information going 🔀🧐

Traveling across the country to appear on national TV might be our new favorite hobby 🚗

With everything going on, it seems more and more people are getting interested in what we're up to these days - and with good reason 🔥

Today, we went on Go' Morgen Danmark on TV 2 (a national Danish morning program) to explain in detail our upcoming plans and about a big challenge in Köln we're heading to soon (more on that later) 🤫

If you want to watch the full segment, you can on TV 2 Play - otherwise, check out the photos of the Rover on set 😎

STATUS UPDATE --- Krakow

The team is currently sitting in a bus on their way to Krakow, and has been doing so for the past 20 hours 😴 When we said we were preparing for the , we actually meant mentally preparing for riding a bus for hours on end 😂

But alas, after a whole year of preperations, we're finally on our way to the European Rover Challenge, and we're ready to show off what we've been up to for the past year on the official Rover Track!! 🔥🔥

You might be thinking, "𝘉𝘶𝘵 AAU Space Robotics 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳? 𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶?". No, it's not. It's safe and sound, all securely tied up in a van we borrowed for this exact trip 🚗💨 (along with a few key items).

The updates will continue when we get settled in, and get some proper sleep (you don't sleep that well in a hot bus) 😵‍💫

Was having a time slot on the news on your 2025 bingo card? Because it wasn't on mine 😅

As we teased in the last post, we had the pleasure of welcoming TV2 Nord back to Aalborg University for a second time 📸📹 But this time, it got a bit more intense...

Rather than just getting a few clips of the Rover 'rovering', they wanted to know what we've been up to - and what our future plans look like 😏 That includes the show we'll bring to the later this August 🥇

If you want to watch the team ON AIR, tune in next Tuesday, the 12th of August, and get a real behind the scenes look at AAU Space Robotics 🔥

As you might have spotted, if you watched our hashtag qualification video, we were working on a manipulator to be mounted on the Rover – and that dream has now become reality 💪

With the summer break seemingly having no end in sight, we've been hard at work improving both our drone and the Rover for the competition in late August 🥹🎖️ The manipulator is an important part of The Rover, as it is required to solve some of the puzzles at the ERC 🧩

The Rover can now flip switches and push buttons, and it's getting close to picking up rocks and other objects – and after a long day's work, it can even hit its own emergency stop button 🤖😴

Look out for Thursday as we have an announcement you've probably seen before, but this time it's on a whole new level 😎

Switching things up this week - THYRA takes flight!

We’re proud to share that THYRA, our drone platform, successfully completed its first official outdoor flight outside the Vicon lab ✈️☀️

With the team monitoring safely from the shade, THYRA soared higher than ever before, executing smooth directional movement and concluding with a near-perfect landing 😅 This marks a significant milestone as we prepare for the 🤩

The flight also gave us a chance to validate key systems, including
- The RTK and LiDAR positioning, enabling a precision landing within just a few centimeters of the take-off point 🎯
- The Emergency landing protocols and kill-switch procedures, all tested safely and without damage 🤓

Next up: camera integration for object detection and vision-based navigation - both critical capabilities as we aim to compete at the top teams at the ERC next month 🎖️

Now we just need the Rover to catch up to its airy friend, so we can be fully prepared for the competition in autumn 🍂 That might have to wait though... the weather is the best it's been all year, and honestly it's too hot to sit inside ☀️🥵 (working outside 𝘪𝘴 in consideration 😎)

Once again a huge thank you to the people at Sky-Watch A/S for making our drone dreams and THYRA into reality 🥹
