About

Abstract

The Mars Yard Cloud Platform is a rover simulation platform that enables learners to code, simulate, and submit missions for execution on a physical rover. Submitted missions are added to a queue at the Mars Yard, where an operator executes them on the physical rover. During execution, the mission is recorded, and the resulting video feedback is shared with the learner, allowing them to observe how their code performs in a real Mars yard environment. Overall, the platform provides an interactive and creative learning environment where learners can develop their coding and robotics skills while exploring concepts in planetary science.
