Decisional autonomy of planetary rovers [PDF]
Journal of Field Robotics, 2007 AbstractTo achieve the ever increasing demand for science return, planetary exploration rovers require more autonomy to successfully perform their missions. Indeed, the communication delays are such that teleoperation is unrealistic. Although the current rovers (such as MER) demonstrate a limited navigation autonomy, and mostly rely on ground mission ...
