Collision Avoidance for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
, 2008 Considerable progress has been achieved in recent years with respect to autonomous vehicles. A good example is the DARPA Grand Challenge, a competition for autonomous ground vehicles. None of the competing vehicles managed to complete the challenge in 2004, but returning in 2005, a total of five vehicles were successful.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...
