Contract #: 4000140043/22/NL/GLC/ces
The upcoming missions are requiring rovers to navigate as fast as possible. In addition to the navigation challenges, manipulator positioning, and energy budgeting are tasks that require autonomous decision making. Some of these aspects can be solved by artificial intelligence (AI) based methods, since they enable a machine to make its own sensible decisions based on internal and external information, turning rovers for example into intelligent agents.These aspects are currently the main research topics that are being carried out in the Space Robotics Lab at the University of Malaga. Indeed, the SRL have researched and developed novel AI based methods to identify terramechanic features of terrains using a multimodal sensor based on RGB-D and thermal cameras.
