CRATER student initiative (team membership for European Rover Challenge 2026)

CRATER is a student initiative at ETH Zurich that develops space-ready robotic systems, including a rover and a drone, and competes in the European Rover Challenge. The initiative provides ETH students with practical experience in the development and testing of technical systems and prepares a team to carry out mission-like tasks. The CRATER team qualified for the European Rover Challenge 2026 and will demonstrate its systems at the event in Poland.

Practical hands-on experience developing and testing rover and drone systems; opportunity to compete internationally at the European Rover Challenge; teamwork and project experience.
