Lunar & Martian surface systems

We dig where
humans can’t.

Excavare X1 is a compact robotic excavation platform designed to drill, analyse and prepare extraterrestrial terrain before crews arrive.

01 / THE PLATFORM

One robot.
Multiple missions.

Built for the Moon and Mars, X1 combines excavation, mobility and onboard analysis in one compact machine.

Its biological inspiration and proven rover mechanics turn difficult terrain into workable ground.

04 / CORE TECHNOLOGY

Engineered for
unforgiving ground.

Every system has one job: keep X1 moving, drilling and learning with minimal human support.

01

Stag-beetle drill system

Three articulated drill bits move vertically and rotate in either direction to break compacted regolith and collect material.

02

Rocker-bogie mobility

Six wheels follow uneven ground independently, helping X1 cross rocks and slopes while keeping the chassis stable.

03

Terrain intelligence

LiDAR, infrared, soil sensors and a spectrometer work together to map, inspect and analyse each target area.

04

Autonomous power

Rechargeable batteries support field operations, with automatic return to a parent rover or charging station.

05 / MISSION MODE

One platform.
Two worlds.
