Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery at Mars Using a Jetpack
Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Samuel Sirlin +32
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery (MAHD) is a new Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) architecture to enable in situ mobility for Mars science at lower cost than previous missions. It uses…
NeBula: Quest for Robotic Autonomy in Challenging Environments; TEAM CoSTAR at the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +69
This paper presents and discusses algorithms, hardware, and software architecture developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), competing in the DARP…
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…
Machine Learning Based Path Planning for Improved Rover Navigation (Pre-Print Version)
Neil Abcouwer, Shreyansh Daftry, Siddarth Venkatraman +6
Enhanced AutoNav (ENav), the baseline surface navigation software for NASA's Perseverance rover, sorts a list of candidate paths for the rover to traverse, then uses the Approximat…
Fast Approximate Clearance Evaluation for Rovers with Articulated Suspension Systems
Kyohei Otsu, Guillaume Matheron, Sourish Ghosh +2
We present a light-weight body-terrain clearance evaluation algorithm for the automated path planning of NASA's Mars 2020 rover. Extraterrestrial path planning is challenging due t…
