Autonomous Planetary Rover Control Using Inverse Simulation
, 2015 With extended autonomous capability planetary rovers will be able to carry out more exploration. This paper presents a method of control that provides such autonomy. This controller is based on Inverse Simulation, which considers the path to be taken and

ESA ExoMars: Pre-launch PanCam Geometric Modeling and Accuracy Assessment [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014 ExoMars is the flagship mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) Aurora Programme. The mobile scientific platform, or rover, will carry a drill and a suite of instruments dedicated to exobiology and geochemistry research.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Autonomous laboratories can now synthesize materials faster than experts can interpret the resulting diffraction data. A probabilistic framework combines refinement‐fit metrics with large language model‐derived chemical reasoning to rank competing phase interpretations and flag those unsuitable for autonomous use.

SLAM for autonomous planetary rovers with global localization
Journal of Field Robotics, 2020 AbstractThis paper describes a novel approach to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques applied to the autonomous planetary rover exploration scenario to reduce both the relative and absolute localization errors, using two well‐proven techniques: particle filters and scan matching.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

Applied SciencesWhen traversing soft and rugged terrain, a planetary rover is susceptible to slipping and sinking, which impedes its movement. The real-time detection of wheel sinkage in the planetary wheel-on-limb system is crucial for enhancing motion safety and ...

Particle‐Scale Mechanics of a Regolith‐Type Soil
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The existing studies have reported that the surface of Mars shows the presence of materials having igneous origin, including basalt and regolith‐type coarse soils. These findings are affected by significant uncertainties and, therefore, the selection of simulants for various exploration applications, including surface mobility of rovers ...
