- rover 自主钻探土壤，真空采样并原位检测
- 可识别土壤中是否存在生命成分
- 为未来外星生命探测提供可验证原型
寻找地外生命一直是科学探索的核心目标，随着技术进步和对宇宙认知的深化而不断推进。火星发现水的存在引发了新疑问：生命是否可能存在于该行星上？本研究提出一种新型生命探测模块，集成于火星车中，可自主前往指定区域，钻取土壤、采集样本，并在车载平台上完成生化检测。该模块融合机械系统（如钻探装置与真空采样系统）与生化分析能力，能够成功判定所采集土壤颗粒中是否存在生命成分。该生命探测模块作为概念验证系统，展示了外星环境中自主生命检测的可行性，为后续探测任务奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The search for extraterrestrial life has long been a primary focus of scientific exploration, driven by rapid advancements in technology and our understanding of the universe. The discovery of water on Mars has sparked significant interest, raising the question of whether life could exist on the planet. This study proposes a novel approach to simulate and illustrate the detection of life using a proof-of-life module integrated into a Mars rover. The module is an autonomous system capable of traveling to designated regions, excavating soil, collecting samples, and performing biochemical testing onboard the rover itself. The project is inherently multidisciplinary, integrating mechanical systems such as a drill mechanism and a vacuum system, alongside biochemical analysis for soil testing. The module is capable of successfully detecting the presence or absence of living components of life from the collected soil particles. This proof-of-life module serves as a proof-of-concept for autonomous life detection in extraterrestrial environments and lays the foundation for future exploration missions.
