RESEARCH
Research is one of the integral aspects of Mars Rover Manipal. Our re-
search activities seek to pioneer robotics through analysis, innovation
and insight. Mars Rover Manipal conducts research activities in the
field of robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and astrobiol-
ogy.
Our team members have worked on case studies, which are used as
reference materials for Biotechnology department of Manipal Academy
of Higher Education. The research subsystem focuses on publishing
papers in Scopus indexed journals and Web of Science indexed jour-
nals, also in National and International conferences.
