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.

Path-Following Control of Wheeled Planetary Exploration Robots Moving on Deformable Rough Terrain
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 The control of planetary rovers, which are high performance mobile robots that move on deformable rough terrain, is a challenging problem. Taking lateral skid into account, this paper presents a rough terrain model and nonholonomic kinematics model for ...

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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 ...

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.

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.
