Autonomous navigation ability: FIDO test results
Eric T. Baumgartner, M. Maurette · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 2000
The FIDO platform of the JPL has been used to evaluate the ability of autonomous obstacle avoidance developed by JPL and CNES autonomous long range path planning. The test results show that only a very small amount of energy and computing time is used to implement autonomy and that the capabilities of the rover are fully used, allowing a much longer daily traverse than purely ground-planned strategies.
