Autonomous navigation of planetary rovers
, 2022 Autonomous Navigation of Planetary Rovers deepens the field of autonomously-driven robotic systems and its application to planetary rovers. Based on the experience of previous successful Mars missions such as the Mars Exploration Rovers or Curiosity, it focuses on the challenges that future European missions such as ExoMars or the Sample Fetch Rover ...

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

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In Himachal Pradesh, India, village deities act as political figures who play an active role in communal affairs, especially during periods of social change. Bakhan, an annual divination ritual in which these deities speak through human mediums, is a public event that offers forecasts and instructions. I argue that the bakhan is a social arena

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Developmental psychology continues to shape how adults engage with children about death and dying. This influences whether children are included in rituals surrounding human and other‐than‐human bodies. Figurations of the innocent, immature and vulnerable child still dominate adult imaginaries of young children's understandings of mortality ...

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

On multi-objective optimization of planetary exploration rovers applied to ExoMars-type rovers [PDF]
, 2011 ExoMars is the first robotic mission of the Aurora program of the European Space Agency (EAS). Surface mobility (as provided by ExoMarks rover) is one of the enabling technologies necessary for future exploration missions.

On-Line Terrain Parameter Estimation for Planetary Rovers
, 2002 Future planetary exploration missions will require rovers to traverse very rough terrain with limited human supervision. Wheel-terrain interaction plays a critical role in rough-terrain mobility. In this paper an on-line estimation method that identifies
