Development of a Mars Rover with Mapping and Localization System
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to provide the research foundation for future exploration of the unknown world, a mars rover prototype is developed for studying the related technologies. In this study the development of a mars rover prototype with mapping and localization system is presented. At first, the architecture of the mars rover is designed to meet the motion requirement on rough terrains. The sensory system with stereo vision is introduced, which is responsible for environmental modeling. The experiment shows that the developed prototype is able to explore in unknown environments and the mapping and localization system proved to be feasible.

Rover Localization and Landing-Site Mapping Technology for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover Mission
The technology and experiments planned for rover localization and landing site mapping in the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission are described. We introduce the Mars global and landing site local reference systems. For global rover localization in the Mars body-fixed reference system, a triangulation can be performed using observations of common landmarks on satellite images and the very...
متن کاملVisual Localization Methods for Mars
Mars rover sample return missions will require rover localization on scales ranging from under a meter near landers and sample caches, to 10's of meters for local exploration, to 100's of meters for long range exploration. A variety of technologies may contribute to rover localization, but at present there is no concretely deened localization architecture that covers all of these scales. This p...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Rover Localization by Matching Range
This paper describes maximum likelihood estimation techniques for performing rover localization in natural terrain by matching range maps. An occupancy map of the local terrain is rst generated using stereo vision. The position of the rover with respect to a previously generated occupancy map is then computed by comparing the maps using a probabilistic formulation of image matching techniques. ...

High-precision topographic information from all available data is crucial to many landing site geological and engineering applications. At the same time, precise navigation and localization of the rover as it traverses the Martian surface is important both for its safety and for the achievement of its engineering and scientific objectives. In this paper, we investigate a new approach to high-pr...
