An autonomous rover network for planetary exploration using a mother rover and scout rovers.
ARES Devlog — Virtual Mother Rover Online
Today I completed the first end-to-end rover pipeline.
Completed:
✅ Backend Ground Server
✅ WebSocket Communication
✅ Frontend Integration
✅ Virtual Mother Rover Simulator
✅ Mission Control Integration
✅ Live Map Integration
✅ Telemetry Integration
The dashboard is now receiving live rover state packets from a simulated Mother Rover.
Current metrics streamed:
• Battery
• Signal Strength
• Temperature
• Speed
• Heading
• Coordinates
Current Architecture:

Next Step:
Create a hardware-compatible Mother Rover Adapter so a real ESP32 rover can replace the simulator without changing frontend code.
