Experience with rover navigation for lunar-like terrains
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lure of the Moon is strong — and humans are once again responding to the challenge. One promising, near-term scenario is to land a pair of rovers on the Moon, and to engage in a multiyear, 1000 kilometer traverse of historic sights, including Apollo 11, Surveyor 5, Ranger 8, Apollo 17 and Lunokhod 2 [2]. In this scenario, one of the rovers would be driven, returning continuous live video, while the other rover remains stationary, to provide high-resolution imagery of the surroundings and to serve as a communications link with Earth for both rovers. The rovers would periodically switch roles, continuing this way to explore the Moon’s surface.

متن کاملLunar Rover Virtual Simulation System over A 3D Terrain Environment
Virtual Reality Simulation plays important role in teleoperation of lunar rovers during exploration phase as well as in the design of rover and its systems, performance evaluation during R&D phase. Present simulation methods for lunar rovers have several drawbacks in terms of difficulty in simulating terrains, rover terrain interfaces, simulating dynamics of slip and slide to realize smooth mob...
متن کاملHigh Speed Lunar Navigation for Crewed and Remotely Piloted Vehicles
Increased navigation speed is desirable for lunar rovers, whether autonomous, crewed or remotely operated, but is hampered by the low gravity, high contrast lighting and rough terrain. We describe lidar based navigation system deployed on NASA’s K10 autonomous rover and to increase the terrain hazard situational awareness of the Lunar Electric Rover crew.

This paper presented a method for navigation of lunar rover. This method used the real lunar data to model the virtual terrain. In addition, this method not onle considers uncertainty of sensor data, and does integrate directional slip prediction into the path planning algorithm resolving the issue of emerging higher-level behaviors such as planning a path with switch-backs up a slope. Simulati...
متن کاملAn Approach To Navigation For Lunar Rover Based On Virtual Reality Technology
This paper presented a method for navigation of lunar rover. This method used the real lunar data to model the virtual terrain. In addition, its path is planned using a knowledge based genetic algorithm accounting for uncertainty of modeling and sensor data. This method overcomes the invalid problem of past methods in complicated rough terrain to plan path. Simulation results show the feasibili...
