Noida-based tech start-up powers eyes of Chandrayaan’s lunar rover

With the Pragyaan rover poised to navigate the moon, its eyes to traverse the crater-filled lunar surface are powered by a software developed by a Noida-based tech start-up.

Omnipresent Robot Technologies, which has been working closely with ISRO for the Chandrayaan series of lunar missions, has developed Perception Navigation Software for the Pragyaan rover that is housed in the Vikram landing module that touched down on the moon Wednesday evening.

‘We are very excited and look forward to seeing the Pragyaan rover navigating the lunar surface using our software,’ Aakash Sinha, Chief Executive Officer of Omnipresent Robot Technologies, told PTI here.
