Exploring energy-deficient and remote environments where charging/refueling points are not available in a nearby location can be challenging for autonomous vehicles or rovers. This paper proposes an autonomous navigation algorithm that monitors the state of the battery simultaneously while exploring the surroundings and navigates the rover to a checkpoint to recharge upon reaching a critical battery level. The algorithm has been tested in ROS simulation environments. The results and implications of the same have also been discussed.
