This article proposes a new planning navigation strategy for use with mobile terrestrial robots. The proposed algorithm is applicable in any point of the areas for tasks such as cleaning the floors of building, mowing and clearing mined areas. The strategy of this algorithm is analyzed and checked in conditions where the environment and the obstacles are known. There are various routing algorit...

Traversing is a fundamental operation in surveying and the assessment of the quality of a traverse is a skill that every surveyor develops. Acceptable traverses have angular and linear misclosures that fall within acceptable bounds; which would permit the adjustment of the traverse measurements to remove mathematical inconsistencies. Unfortunately these misclosures tell very little about the pr...

This paper presents an image network-based technology designed for long-range onboard rover localization. This integrated overhead and ground image network provides a global geometric configuration. Incorporation of this image network with our unique incremental bundle adjustment and visual odometry methodologies ensures optimal localization accuracy over the entire landing site area. Progresse...

Introduction: Observations made by the Opportunity rover during its traverse south from Eagle crater show that the hematite bearing plains are an aeolian lag deposit consisting of hematite spherules and basal-tic sand, along with a nanophase iron oxide bearing dust component, that has been worked into ripples [1,2,3]. The hematite spherules, which have weathered out of the sulfate rich outcrop ...

Abstract. With the advancement of technology, lowered cost in hardware and widely available development tools, more educators across different disciplines have used virtual reality as a mean to enhance their teaching. The hit pandemic has also speeded up adoption education where face-to-face classes practicals are suspended/cancelled. Virtual Reality tool facilitate teaching learning created ne...
