Team Horizon is the official student rover team of Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), India. United by our passion for planetary robotics and space exploration, we bring together students from diverse engineering backgrounds to build innovative and capable rovers.
Since our journey began, we’ve made a mark on the global stage, securing top 20 rankings at the European Rover Challenge (ERC) in both 2023 and 2024. With expertise in mechanical design, embedded systems, autonomy, and software development, we tackle the challenges of planetary mobility and robotic manipulation head-on.
At Horizon, we believe in teamwork, adaptability, and a hands-on approach to problem-solving. Beyond ERC, we continue pushing boundaries by competing in other robotics competitions, constantly refining our skills and exploring new possibilities.
For us, Horizon is more than just a competition team—it’s where ideas take shape, challenges drive growth, and a shared dream of space exploration unites us. Our journey wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our university, mentors, and sponsors, who help us reach new frontiers in planetary exploration.
