Real‐Time Terrain Traversability Analysis and Mapping for Autonomous Robotics in Dynamic Environments: Fusing Appearance‐ and Geometry‐Based Approaches

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents advanced methodologies for real‐time terrain analysis and mapping in autonomous robotic systems. The focus is on appearance‐based terrain traversability analysis and geometric‐based terrain traceability analysis. In the appearance‐based approach, an enhanced segmentation model using pixel‐based augmentation and 13 unique ...

The IRIS2+ Inversion Tool: Recovering the Radiative Losses and the Thermodynamics in the Lower Solar Atmosphere

The Astrophysical Journal
We introduce an improved and fast inversion tool that is able to provide the thermodynamics of the solar atmosphere from the photosphere to the top of the chromosphere, as well as the integrated radiative losses (IRLs) in the chromosphere for data ...

A Green Bank Telescope Search for Narrowband Technosignatures between 1.1 and 1.9 GHz During 12 Kepler Planetary Transits

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Agrowing avenue for determining the prevalence of life beyond Earth is to search for “technosignatures” from extraterrestrial intelligences/agents. Technosignatures require significant energy to be visible across interstellar space and thus intentional ...

Efficient and Adaptive Autonomous Guidance and Control of Planetary Rover With Improved Traction Controller and Dynamic Cost Map

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Planetary exploration is rapidly gaining importance within the space research community. Autonomous locomotion of rovers requires consideration of several mobility aspects to ensure safety, including avoiding hazardous areas that can cause the robot to become immobilized in soft soil or damaged in sharp terrains.
