Experience with rover navigation for lunar-like terrains
Proceedings 1995 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Human Robot Interaction and Cooperative Robots, 2002 Reliable navigation is critical for a lunar rover, both for autonomous traverses and safeguarded, remote teleoperation. This paper describes an implemented system that has autonomously driven a prototype wheeled lunar rover over a kilometer in natural, outdoor terrain.

Volcanic history of the Imbrium basin: A close-up view from the lunar rover Yutu
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015 We report the surface exploration by the lunar rover Yutu that landed on the young lava flow in the northeastern part of the Mare Imbrium, which is the largest basin on the nearside of the Moon and is filled with several basalt units estimated to date ...

Mapping and positioning for a prototype lunar rover
Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002In this paper, we describe practical, effective approaches to outdoor mapping and positioning, and present results from systems implemented for a prototype lunar rover. For mapping, we have developed a binocular head and mounted it on a motion-averaging mast. This head provides images to a normalized correlation matcher, that intelligently selects what

On Laser Ranging of Lunar Rovers
Cosmic Research, 2023Previously published articles on laser ranging using reflectors installed on Soviet lunar rovers did not take into account the actual orientation of the lunar rovers on the ground. Taking into account the actual orientation of the lunar rovers makes it possible to determine the angles of incidence, which helps to explain the difference in the ...

Lunar rover developments at JPL
Acta Astronautica, 1991Results of previous JPL developments are summarized and the current work related to lunar roving missions is discussed. Objectives of a long lunar transverse are reviewed and include lunar resource prospecting and base site surveys. Rover design criteria are presented, noting that payload instrumentation would include both television cameras for ...

The role of terrain modeling in lunar rover simulation
SIMULATION, 1993This paper presents work being performed by Boeing on the next generation of lunar rovers as part of the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI). The current work has emphasized development of a lunar rover simulator. Such a simulator will be used for design and analysis of rover mobility system concepts and derivation of requirements for vehicle design and

Analyzing and designing of lunar rover motion controller
2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2007In this paper, we address the problem of lunar rover motion control. Firstly, we present the motion control strategy of lunar rover, by simplifying the complicated kinematics and classifying the motion control problem of lunar rover into path following and point stabilization. In this paper, the emphasis is put on the control problem of path following.
