Developing a Framework for Reliable Autonomous Surface Mobility
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Reliable Autonomous Surface Mobility (RASM) architecture and algorithms model terrains, plan paths, and control motion to enable rovers to navigate autonomously through kilometers of barren terrain. We have developed requirements for rovers from the needs of field investigations and mission scenarios of the last decade. Thus far the RASM architecture has been ported to five rovers and tested in field sites in Hawaii, California and Canada. We report on the architectural f ramework , the under ly ing a lgor i thms, and representative results.

Evolution of Autonomous Self-righting Behaviors for Articulated Nanorovers
Miniature rovers with articulated mobility mechanisms are being developed for planetary surface exploration on Mars and small solar system bodies. These vehicles are designed to be capable of autonomous re. covery from overturning during surface operations. This paper describes a computational means of developing motion behaviors that achieve the autonomous recovery function. It proposes a cont...

متن کاملThe autonomous car—a blessing or a curse for the future of low carbon mobility? An exploration of likely vs. desirable outcomes
Certain developed countries have experienced the ‘peak car’ phenomenon. While this remains to be confirmed longitudinally, it looks certain that future mobility in Europe and elsewhere will be shaped by a particular technological development: driverless or autonomous transport. The ‘autonomous car’ ignites the imagination, yet the research and debate on this topic largely focus on the ‘autonomo...
متن کاملA Q-learning Based Continuous Tuning of Fuzzy Wall Tracking
A simple easy to implement algorithm is proposed to address wall tracking task of an autonomous robot. The robot should navigate in unknown environments, find the nearest wall, and track it solely based on locally sensed data. The proposed method benefits from coupling fuzzy logic and Q-learning to meet requirements of autonomous navigations. Fuzzy if-then rules provide a reliable decision maki...
متن کاملModelling and Analysis of Agent Mobility Patterns by Discrete-Time Markov Chains
This paper proposes an approach for the modeling and analysis of autonomous agent mobility patterns which is based on discrete-time Markov chains graphicallyenhanced to improve modularity. Mobility patterns are associated to autonomous agents when they have to fulfil a distributed task involving migration to remote agent servers where agent computation and/or interaction can likely take place. ...
