| Description | The guidance of an autonomous rover for unmanned planetary exploration using a short range (0.5 - 3.0 meter) hazard detection system was studied. Experimental data derived from a one laser/one detector system were used in the development of improved algorithms for the guidance of the rover. The new algorithms which account for the dynamic characteristics of the Rensselaer rover can be applied to other rover concepts provided that the rover dynamic parameters are modified appropriately. The new algorithms will also be applicable to the advanced scanning system. The design of an elevation scanning laser/multisensor hazard detection system was completed. All mechanical and electronic hardware components with the exception of the sensor optics and electronic components were constructed and tested. |
