متن کاملOasis: Onboard autonomous science investigation system for opportunistic rover science
The Onboard Autonomous Science Investigation System (OASIS) system has been developed to enable a rover to identify and react to serendipitous science opportunities. Using the FIDO rover in the Mars Yard at JPL, we have successfully demonstrated a fully autonomous opportunistic science system. The closed loop system tests included the rover acquiring image data, finding rocks in the image, anal...
