Autonomous Parallelization of Resource-Aware Robotic Task Nodes

Robot task programming often leads to inefficient plans, as opportunities for parallelization and precomputation are usually not exploited by the programmer. This inefficiency is often especially obvious in mobile manipulation, where path planning …

Mobile Manipulation for Planetary Exploration

Robotic systems map unknown terrain and collect scientific relevant data of foreign planets. Currently, pilots from Earth steer these rovers on Moon and Mars surfaces via teleoperation. However, remote control suffers from a high delay of the long …

Towards Autonomous Planetary Exploration: The Lightweight Rover Unit (LRU), its Success in the SpaceBotCamp Challenge, and Beyond

Planetary exploration poses many challenges for a robot system. From weight and size constraints to extraterrestrial environment conditions, which constrain the suitable sensors and actuators. As the distance to other planets introduces a significant …
