Team Achievements Between Dec 2024-Dec 2025

Achievements

The Space Robotics Society has organized IRC 2025 to encourage students to conceptualize, design, develop and operate astronaut-assistive next-gen Mars Rovers and perform specific MARS missions in simulated conditions. It needed to perform task such as Instrument Deployment and Maintenance Operation, Reconnaissance and Delivery Operation, Autonomous Expedition, Astrobiology Expedition. The competition also had non technical tasks such as Business Partnership Planning and Project Implementation and Management Assessment.

The challenge saw participation from teams across several countries and required students to design, build, and operate planetary rovers capable of completing complex tasks under simulated mars like world conditions.

Team Automatons represented PCCOE with their indigenously developed rover, Kartikeya.

Team Automatons secured World Rank 19.
