Planetary surface mobility has to date been limited to benign locations. If rover systems could be developed for more challenging terrain, e.g., sloped and irregularly feathered areas, then planetary science opportunities would be greatly expanded.

We overview our recent research on planetary mobility.
We overview some of our recent work on highly autonomous mobile robots for planetary 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.
We report on the development of cooperating multiple robots. This work builds from our earlier research on autonomous planetary rovers and robot arms.
Site construction operations by autonomous robotic systems are essential for a sustained robotic presence and human habitation on mars.
Integration of planning and execution for single-agent systems has received considerable attention and numerous interesting approaches have been proposed.
