Lunar Automated Regolith Processing (LARP) II

Building off of LARP I, the team will design and build a prototype lunar regolith processing unit capable of operating under standard temperature and pressure for initial testing. The system will be semi-autonomous, using an off-the-shelf robotic platform (e.g., F110) adapted to mine simulated regolith, process it, and deliver a specified tonnage per hour to a stockpile. Key design tasks include energy usage analysis, footprint (area) calculations, and integration of position-tracking features.
