Space Robotics: Robotic Rovers for Planetary Exploration
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2008 In this third of three short papers, I introduce some of the basic concepts of planetary rovers with an emphasis on some specific challenging areas of research that are peculiar to planetary robotics and not usually associated with terrestrial mobile ...

Analysing policy success and failure in Australia: Pink batts and set‐top boxes
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines two Australian government programs from the Rudd/Gillard Labor government, the Home Insulation Program (HIP) and the Digital Switchover Household Assistance Scheme (HAS). Both became shibboleths of the Labor government's perceived waste and incompetence.

State estimation technique for a planetary robotic rover
Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2014 Given the long traverse times and severe environmental constraints on a planet like Mars, the only option feasible now is to observe and explore the planet through more sophisticated planetary rovers. To achieve increasingly ambitious mission objectives

When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

The real-time control of planetary rovers through behavior modification [PDF]
It is not yet clear of what type, and how much, intelligence is needed for a planetary rover to function semi-autonomously on a planetary surface.

Structure augmented monocular saliency for planetary rovers
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2017 This paper proposes a novel object detection method based on the visual saliency model in order to reliably detect objects such as rocks from single monocular planetary images. The algorithm takes advantage of the relatively homogeneous and distinct albedos present in planetary environments such as Mars or the Moon to extract a Digital Terrain Model of
