Planetary rover developments supporting Mars exploration, sample return and future human-robotic colonization
We overview our recent research on planetary mobility.
Robotic autonomy for space: cooperative and reconfigurable mobile surface systems
We overview some of our recent work on highly autonomous mobile robots for planetary exploration.
FIDO: a Field Integrated Design & Operation rover for Mars surface exploration
We overview or recent development and testing of the FIDO rover, an advanced technology prototype for long range mobile planetary science.
Reconfigurable robots for all terrain exploration
While significant recent progress has been made in development of mobile robots for planetary suface exploration,there remain major challenges. These include increased autonomy of operation, traverse of challenging terrain, and fault-tolerance under long, unattended periods of use.
Robot work crews for planetary outposts: close cooperation and coordination of multiple mobile robots
We report on the development of cooperating multiple robots. This work builds from our earlier research on autonomous planetary rovers and robot arms.
Representation and execution of plan sequences for multi-agent systems
Integration of planning and execution for single-agent systems has received considerable attention and numerous interesting approaches have been proposed.
State estimation and vehicle localization for the FIDO Rover
This paper describes the means for generating rover localization information for NASA/JPL's FIDO rover. This is accomplished using a sensor fusion framework which combines wheel odometry with sun sensor and intertial navigation sensors to provide an integrated state estimate for the vehicle's position and oreintation relative to some fixed reference frame.
