#Timelapse video of the final #autonomous long distance run of #SherpaTT using the ERGO software.
The #rover managed to reach all predefined waypoints and covered 1388m within approximately 8.5h.

Nothing left in the desert of Morocco but some mysterious trails in the sand.
Now it's time for analysing the tons of data that we gathered during the trials. TBC...

[Field Trials Morocco @ft_morocco]

Because of the excellent performance of #SherpaTT during the field trials the @DFKI team shows happy faces.

After two weeks in the desert it's time for packing. #SherpaTT get's into it's box and hopefully the transporter doesn't brake until it reaches our container.

A last challenge for #SherpaTT: Climbing a steep rocky hill.

Mission accomplished! More than 15 scientific experiments and data collection tasks were completed successfully. This includes the long distance traverse, where guided by the #ERGO software, #SherpaTT covered more than 1,3km autonomously. (Image by #AirbusintheUK)

Avoiding an obstacle is easy, but see what #SherpaTT can do...

#SherpaTT changes it's footprint in order to drive to a narrow passage.

The field team from DLR-RM (@DLR_de) with their Handheld Central Rover Unit (HCRU). A perception unit, to validate vision or lidar based algorithms with minimal logistical effort. One unit is mounted on #SherpaTT and another could be carried with a backpack construction.

What does it take to validate a new software in the Moroccan desert? A talented and enthusiastic #team - and a couple of clever rovers!

Here is the hardworking #InFuse #team after a long day of testing on "Mars" 👽🤖
