Kinematics-based velocity estimation of lunar rovers

2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2007
Wheeled mobile robots are increasingly being utilized in unknown and dangerous situations such as lunar surface exploration. Velocity estimation is of importance for lunar rovers to autonomously navigate and successfully traverse on rough terrains. The dynamic effects occurring at the wheel- terrain interface such as wheel slips make it difficult to ...

Space teleoperation scheme for Korean Lunar Rover

2017 14th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2017
This paper provides the architecture of the teleoperation system of the Korean Lunar Rover under development. First, we conducted a simulation experiment for the possibility of real-time teleoperation of the lunar exploration rover because the communication time-delay between the earth and the moon is expected to be 6 seconds. Based on the experimental

Dead reckoning for a lunar rover on uneven terrain

Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
This paper extends the classic dead reckoning approach to the case of a mobile robot moving on uneven terrain such as the lunar surface or a construction site. In addition to the wheel encoders employed in classical odometry, the approach uses accelerometer and gyroscopic sensors, routinely used in aviation but rarely found on contemporary mobile ...

Multi-rover navigation on the lunar surface

Advances in Space Research, 2008
Abstract The paper presents a method of determination an accurate position of a target (rover, immobile sensor, astronaut) on surface of the Moon or other celestial body devoid of navigation infrastructure (like Global Positioning System), by using a group of self-calibrating rovers, which serves as mobile reference points.

A stereo matching algorithm for lunar rover

2010 2nd International Conference on Computer Engineering and Technology, 2010
In order to satisfy the requirement of navigation and localization of the lunar rover, a new quasi-dense matching algorithm based on SIFT features and region growing is presented in the paper. Firstly, the original images are preprocessed by Gauss filter and CLAHE method to weaken the effect of noise and contrast, then the invariant SIFT feature points

Prospecting Rovers for Lunar Exploration

2007 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2007
A study of rover options for exploring the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar environment is presented. The potential for nearly continuous solar illumination and the possible existence of substantial water ice deposits focus the exploration planner's attention on the polar regions of the Moon.

Lunar Rover Analogue Mission Deployments

7th Symposium on Space Resource Utilization, 2014
The Canadian Space Agency has been funding the design and development of several lunar rover prototypes since 2008. During development of these rovers, multiple analogue deployments have occurred in an effort to further the design and function of the rover and to validate and improve operations within the field.
