Autonomous Rover

Autonomous rovers are robotic vehicles designed for independent navigation and task execution in diverse environments, ranging from planetary surfaces to underwater settings. Current research emphasizes enhancing rover capabilities through improved path planning algorithms (e.g., incorporating probabilistic risk assessment and Bayesian optimization), advanced sensor integration for terrain characterization and landmark recognition (like crater detection for lunar navigation), and efficient power management strategies (such as battery swapping systems). These advancements are crucial for expanding the scope of robotic exploration, improving the efficiency of tasks like mosquito control or underwater cleaning, and enabling more complex and ambitious missions in challenging terrains.
