article_snippet.sent: Called the Modular Robotic Vehicle, or MRV, the Modular Robotic Vehicle was developed at NASA's Johnson Space Center to show off the technologies that could let man move across other planets.
article_snippet.sent: 'With seating for two people, MRV is a fully electric vehicle well-suited for busy urban environments, MRV says.
article_snippet.sent: MRV is driven by four independent wheel modules called e-corners.
article_snippet.sent: This allows for a suite of driving modes allowing MRV to maneuver unlike any traditional vehicle on the road.
article_snippet.sent: MRV would be ideal for daily transportation in an urban environment with a designed top speed of 70 km/hr and range of 100 km of city driving on a single charge of the battery. '
article_snippet.sent: The size and maneuverability of MRV gives it an advantage in navigating and parking in tight quarters.'
article_snippet.sent: Actuators, motor controllers, sensors, batteries, BMS, component cooling, sealing, and software are all examples of technologies that are being devel oped and tested in MRV that will be used in next generation rover systems. '
article_snippet.sent: The technologies developed in MRV have direct application in future manned vehicles undertaking missions on the surface of Earth's moon, on Mars, or even an asteroid. '
article_snippet.sent: Additionally, MRV provides a platform to learn lessons that could drive the next generation of automobiles.
