A smart, automated self-maintenance rover designed for the harsh lunar surface. Because electrostatic lunar regolith (space dust) covers solar panels and blocks their energy source, this project uses an Arduino Uno and an ESP32 to run an automated cleaning loop. When activated, a specialized rotating brush sweeps abrasive dust off the solar cells to restore power generation, while a servo-controlled dust tank opens to collect and safely purge the debris. For navigation safety, the system integrates an ultrasonic sensor and an IR sensor to instantly trigger an emergency stop if the rover encounters deep craters or dangerous rocks
