Autonomous Off-road Navigation over Extreme Terrains with Perceptually-challenging Conditions
Rohan Thakker, Nikhilesh Alatur, David D. Fan +5
We propose a framework for resilient autonomous navigation in perceptually challenging unknown environments with mobility-stressing elements such as uneven surfaces with rocks and…
Autonomous Spot: Long-Range Autonomous Exploration of Extreme Environments with Legged Locomotion
Amanda Bouman, Muhammad Fadhil Ginting, Nikhilesh Alatur +8
This paper serves as one of the first efforts to enable large-scale and long-duration autonomy using the Boston Dynamics Spot robot. Motivated by exploring extreme environments, pa…
Where to Map? Iterative Rover-Copter Path Planning for Mars Exploration
Takahiro Sasaki, Kyohei Otsu, Rohan Thakker +2
In addition to conventional ground rovers, the Mars 2020 mission will send a helicopter to Mars. The copter's high-resolution data helps the rover to identify small hazards such as…
Perception-aware Autonomous Mast Motion Planning for Planetary Exploration Rovers
Jared Strader, Kyohei Otsu, Ali-akbar Agha-mohammadi
Highly accurate real-time localization is of fundamental importance for the safety and efficiency of planetary rovers exploring the surface of Mars. Mars rover operations rely on v…
