Distributed Instruments for Planetary Surface Science: Scientific Opportunities and Technology Feasibility
Federico Rossi, Robert C. Anderson, Saptarshi Bandyopadhyay +6
In this paper, we assess the scientific promise and technology feasibility of distributed instruments for planetary science. A distributed instrument is an instrument designed to c…
Stochastic Guidance of Buoyancy Controlled Vehicles under Ice Shelves using Ocean Currents
Federico Rossi, Andrew Branch, Michael P. Schodlok +4
We propose a novel technique for guidance of buoyancy-controlled vehicles in uncertain under-ice ocean flows. In-situ melt rate measurements collected at the grounding zone of Anta…
Proximal Exploration of Venus Volcanism with Teams of Autonomous Buoyancy-Controlled Balloons
Federico Rossi, Maira Saboia, Siddharth Krishnamoorthy +1
Altitude-controlled balloons hold great promise for performing high-priority scientific investigations of Venus's atmosphere and geological phenomena, including tectonic and volcan…
Multi-Robot On-site Shared Analytics Information and Computing
Joshua Vander Hook, Federico Rossi, Tiago Vaquero +5
Computation load-sharing across a network of heterogeneous robots is a promising approach to increase robots capabilities and efficiency as a team in extreme environments. However,…
