I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mustafa Haji, and I serve as the Social Media and Public Relations Head for Mars Rover Manipal, a dedicated student project at the Manipal Institute of Technology, India. We are passionate about advancing the field of rover technology, and we recently celebrated our achievements at the International Rover Challenge 2024, where we secured 1st place. Additionally, our participation in the University Rover Challenge (URC) at the Mars Desert Research Station in the USA culminated in a commendable 18th global ranking out of 105 teams, along with a 3rd place finish in our science mission.
We are proud to share that we were previously sponsored by Nvidia in 2018, which played a pivotal role in our development. As we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of rover technology, we would be incredibly grateful for your support once again, this time in providing us with advanced Jetson modules.
One of our foremost challenges lies in ensuring our rover is equipped with the computational power necessary for real-time data processing, machine learning, and autonomous decision-making.
By centralizing our computational architecture around the Jetson platform, we can enhance our rover’s capabilities significantly. Our goal is to develop a fully autonomous rover that can perform missions independently, making real-time decisions based on its environment, thereby showcasing the potential of advanced AI applications in extraterrestrial exploration.
We believe that partnering with Nvidia would not only enhance our project’s technical capabilities but also align with Nvidia’s commitment to supporting innovative student projects. Your support in providing us with Jetson hardware would be instrumental as we prepare for upcoming competitions, enabling us to integrate more sophisticated AI and autonomous functionalities.
