AUTONOMY AND PATH PLANNING IN A PLANETARY ROVER
Payaal Patel · International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology · 2016
In this paper we present the autonomous and path planning functionalities of a Planetary Rover system.In order to make the Rover system completely independent of human intervention, a high level of navigational autonomy is desirable.Sun sensing and topographical properties are the two factors that are considered here as the Rover navigational aid.Autonomous hazard avoidance can be achieved using a stereo camera which evaluates terrain safety and to avoid obstacles.
