Navigating Mars with Rust: Putting Rust to the Test with the M.A.R.S. Rover

Learn why everyone’s talking about Rust and explore this language’s impressive capabilities. AdaCore's Stephen Hedrick reveals how we're putting Rust to the test by creating a navigational re-routing system for a M.A.R.S. Rover robot.

Agenda:

1. Putting Rust to the Test: what we’re doing and why

2. What we’ve done so far: hardware and software

3. About the Rover’s Re-routing system (and why Rust)

4. Code Demo: starting to build with Rust

5. Next steps (navigating obstacles) and how to follow our mission
