The document discusses the PolarSys Rover project, which aims to demonstrate the use of PolarSys tools in developing an autonomous rover system. It provides an overview of the current materials available, including code, documentation, and contributions from various organizations. The vision is for the rover project to cover the entire V-model development process and showcase different PolarSys solutions. An actual rover prototype is in development using readily available hardware components. The timeline and opportunities to get involved in the project are also mentioned.

8. PolarSys Autonomous Rover
– Scope
The PolarSys Rover Project provides educational
material including models, code and documentation to
demonstrate the usage of PolarSys solutions for the
architecture, design, development and test of a simple
rover system inspired by both Mars exploration and
crisis management missions.
