Dynamic Simulation Tool Development for Planetary Rovers
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2008 A dynamic computer simulator was developed to study planetary rover mobility. The simulator was validated for step-obstacle negotiation by comparing simulation results with a quasi-static analysis of a rocker-bogie suspension.

VISION BASED OBSTACLE DETECTION USING ROVER STEREO IMAGES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Vision based obstacle detection using stereo images is an essential way for hazard avoidance and path planning in planetary rover missions. However, due to light condition changes and topographic relief, only partial or sparse three-dimensional points ...

Terrain mapping for a walking planetary rover [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1994 Presents a terrain mapping system for walking robots that constructs quantitative models of surface geometry, The accuracy of the constructed maps enables safe, power-efficient locomotion over the natural, rugged terrain found on planetary surfaces. The mapping system acquires range images with a laser rangefinder, preprocesses and stores the images ...

Dust, Sand, and Winds Within an Active Martian Storm in Jezero Crater
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Rovers and landers on Mars have experienced local, regional, and planetary‐scale dust storms. However, in situ documentation of active lifting within storms has remained elusive.

Embedding a Scheduler in Execution for a Planetary Rover
Proceedings of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling, 2018 Scheduling often takes place in the context of execution. This reality drives several key design decisions: (1) when to invoke (re) scheduling, (2) what to do when the scheduler is running, and (3) how to use the schedule to execute scheduled activities.

Qualitative relational mapping and navigation for planetary rovers [PDF]
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2016 This paper presents a novel method for qualitative mapping of large scale spaces. The proposed framework makes use of a graphical representation of the world in order to build a map consisting of qualitative constraints on the geometric relationships between landmark triplets.
