MAYA: A fully functional rover designed for the mars surface

In this paper, we have discussed about the Maya-a standalone, fully functional mobile platform rover which can come to aid for human in many cases. This rover can be controlled from 1 kilometer radius. It had successfully participated in 9th Annual University Rover Challenge 2015 organized by the Mars Society and achieved 9th position among the 44 teams all over the world. In this paper we have tried to give a brief idea about Maya, its architecture, facts and features, used components and techniques used to build up the whole rover. Finally the improvements have also been reported in this paper with it's controlling system software.
