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.
We report on the development of cooperating multiple robots. This work builds from our earlier research on autonomous planetary rovers and robot arms.
