| NASA-funded project aimed at developing a high-accuracy dead-reckoning system for the Mars Rover 2009 mission. |
| We built "Fluffy," a fully functional 1/2-scale clone of the NASA Fido-class Mars Rovers. |
We implemented our Fuzzy

We optimized the FLEXnav system for the unique wheel slippage conditions on sandy soil.
