System description
Artemis2 is a 6-wheeled rover characterized by its payload capacity and expandability, combined with its exceptional off-road capabilities. Artemis2 was developed in 2025 as part of the VaMEx3 project.
Artemis2's CommonRoB design concept, which uses a defined chassis as a carrier system for modular modules with a defined form factor but variable usage, has proven successful in several projects and other rovers. Similarly, the Artemis rover family's underbody concept with 6 steerable wheels on 3 pendulum axles has demonstrated its strengths in various tests and outdoor drives.
Currently, a 360° lidar system and cameras for mapping and navigation are used. For communication, the rover is equipped with a 5G modem, Wi-Fi modules, and Bluetooth.
The Artemis2 rover has a 1.5 kWh battery, making it suitable for extended missions.
