While we'd absolutely love to put LUN-Es on the actual Moon (and we haven't ruled it out), the rovers are currently deployed on a bedsheet in Bengaluru.
But the rovers ARE real! LUN-E is a campaign for the soon to arrive open-source T-01: The Explorer. Go build one, or join our discord to know when it's out to purchase.
Full open-source rover platform. ESP32-C3, OLED eyes, tank treads, opinions.

ROVERS DEPLOYED

DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
ARE THE SOLUTION
* Zero experience required. We actually prefer it.
LUN-Es are smart. Arguably — too smart. They've started having opinions.
One of them wouldn't cross a crater because, to quote the logs, it "doesn't feel right."
Our engineering can navigate the lunar surface. What it cannot do is deal with... whatever this is.
So we're handing the controls to you. A human. On Earth.
Because here's what we know about you: when a cute tiny robot is stuck on a hill on the Moon — you WILL figure it out.
JUST LOOK AT THOSE EYES.
Compact. Expressive. Emotionally unpredictable.
The rovers are real. The Moon footage is... cinematic. The FTL communication protocol passes all unit tests and we will not be taking questions at this time.
We gave them animated eyes for "visual feedback." We did not anticipate the emotional consequences. This is on us.
Sign up as a LUN-E Pilot. We'll send you your credentials. Whether the rover listens to you is between you and the rover.
We've always found that the best day to announce paradigm-shifting technology is when everyone is most receptive to new ideas. Pure coincidence.
You can't. They're on the Moon. What are you going to do, go up there? ...actually, we have a space elevator for that.
The only thing we cannot engineer is common sense.
That's your department.
