A serious roadmap is not a list of destinations — it is a sequence of dependencies. Each phase buys down the risk of the next. We do not skip steps, and we do not promise schedules we cannot defend. The path below is the order in which the hard problems must fall.
MARS
ARES-0
EarthTerrestrial autonomy testbed. Navigation and mapping stack validation on the Pioneer platform.
Advanced Robotics
EarthManipulation, power management and long-duration field autonomy under real environmental load.
Multi-Robot Systems
EarthCoordinated fleets executing shared construction and survey tasks across a single shared map.
Lunar Demonstrator
MoonFlight-representative hardware for a lunar surface demonstration of autonomous operations.
Planetary Infrastructure
MoonAutonomous construction of power, shelter and resource systems that precede human arrival.
Mars
MarsPersistent robotic infrastructure preparing a foothold for the first human crews.
We are currently between phases 01 and 02 — proving single-rover autonomy on Earth. Everything beyond that depends on this work holding up in terrain that does not care about our schedule.
