AMALIA is an advanced lunar exploration vehicle. It was initially created for the national project AMALIA, with the ambitious goal of participating in the Google Lunar X-Prize competition. AMALIA represents a significant achievement in space robotics, featuring cutting-edge technology and robust design to withstand the challenging lunar environment. Equipped with various instruments and mobility systems, AMALIA can traverse the lunar surface, collect data, and perform experiments..

AMALIA II represents an evolution in their pursuit of lunar exploration excellence. This iteration of the rover builds upon the experience and lessons learned from the first AMALIA prototype. It incorporates enhanced technology, improved mobility systems, and more advanced instruments for data collection and experimentation on the lunar surface.

The development of successive AMALIA versions allows Diana's team to refine their design and performance, making each iteration more capable and resilient in the challenging lunar environment. These continuous improvements reflect the team's commitment to pushing the boundaries of space robotics and their dedication to contributing to our understanding of the Moon.

A competition that aimed to open the doors of space exploration to entrepreneurs and Teams, giving them the opportunity to showcase their work and business models by completing a full Lunar mission, from the launch and landing, to lunar walk and data transmission.

In 2015, Team DIANA initiated the T0-R0 project, with the goal of participating in the Rover Challenge Series competitions. T0-R0 was designed and built keeping a low budget profile. 

T0-R0 was equipped with:

• Six wheels rocker-boogie mobility system;
• A robotic arm with at least 6 DoF;
• Manually exchangeable end effectors;
• Power supply based on battery packs.

TRINITY is the product of the heritage and expertise of ten
years of hard work and keen research, carried out with a clear
vision and a specific approach. TRINITY is based on a strongly modular design. From previous experiences the Team learnt that a modular design dramatically reduces development and production times and allows to easily perform modifications on the existing platform for upgrades and fixes.

Ardito is the fourth rover of Team Diana, equipped with a robotic arm and a drilling system. Designed to tackle challenging terrains and harsh environments, Ardito is built with cutting-edge technology to ensure maximum performance and efficiency. Its arm allows the rover to manipulate and interact with objects, while its core drill enables it to collect and analyze samples from rocks and soil. With its advanced sensors and cameras, Ardito can navigate through the toughest landscapes and gather valuable data for scientific research. This versatile and sturdy rover is a true asset to the team’s exploration efforts.

In this competition focused on the design of Martian rovers, Team DIANA, with its innovative design and years of accumulated experience, achieved the ninth position while also winning the "Innovation Design Award" for the core drill system.

ERC-2023 was the third consecutive competition for ARDITO. Thanks to the experience gained from previous competitions and the improvements made to the entire rover, Team DIANA secured the eighth position in the rankings.
