Automatic Crater Classification Using a Deep‐Learning‐Based Pipeline
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Identifying and classifying impact craters on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological history and surface evolution. Traditional crater classification relies on manual annotation methods, which are often limited by human biases and the difficulty of interpreting geomorphological features.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...
