Integrated System for Sensing and Traverse of Cliff Faces
A long duration robotic presence on lunar and planetary surfaces will allow the acquisition of scientifically interesting information from a diverse set of surface and sub-surface sites. The wide range of terrain types including plains, cliffs, sand dunes, and lava tubes will require the development of robotic systems that can adapt to possibly rapidly changing terrain. These systems include si...
متن کاملCAMPOUT: a control architecture for tightly coupled coordination of multirobot systems for planetary surface exploration
Exploration of high risk terrain areas such as cliff faces and site construction operations by autonomous robotic systems on Mars requires a control architecture that is able to autonomously adapt to uncertainties in knowledge of the environment. We report on the development of a software/hardware framework for cooperating multiple robots performing such tightly coordinated tasks. This work bui...
متن کاملAutonomous Exploration of Cliff Faces using Multiple Information Metrics
Recent evidence that water flowed down the faces of some Martian cliffs has created an interest in the scientific community to explore these cliffs more thoroughly, perhaps using robots. This paper presents a technique for autonomous exploration that considers multiple forms of information while exploring. The method is applied to the problem of autonomously exploring cliffs. The exploring robo...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Distributed Environment Sensing with Application to Robotic Cliff Exploration
Future planetary exploration missions will use cooperative robots to explore and sample rough terrain. To succeed robots will need to cooperatively acquire and share data. Here a cooperative multi-agent sensing architecture is presented and applied to the mapping of a cliff surface. This algorithm efficiently repositions the systems’ sensing agents using an information theoretic approach and fu...
متن کاملDistributed Control of Multi-Robot Systems Engaged in Tightly Coupled Tasks
NASA mission concepts for the upcoming decades of this century include exploration of sites such as steep cliff faces on Mars, as well as infrastructure deployment for a sustained robotic/manned presence on planetary and/or the lunar surface. Single robotic platforms, such as the Sojourner rover successfully flown in 1997 and the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) which landed on Mars in January of ...
