Field Experiments in Mission-Level Path Execution and Re-Planning
TL;DR: The findings on this new level of robotic autonomy over 100 kilometers and over days or weeks in the Chilean desert are documents.
Earth-Moon Communication from a Moving Lunar Rover
TL;DR: A communication system based on a phased array antenna, Nyquist QPSK modulation and a rate 2/3 Turbo code is presented which can satisfy requirements of continuous high data rate communication at low power and bandwidth reliably over a two year mission duration.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A prototype locomotion concept for a lunar robotic explorer
TL;DR: In this paper, the configuration of robotic locomotion for the moon, and the analysis and experimental results obtained through testing of a physical prototype are discussed, and a six-wheeled configuration that utilizes pivot arm linkages for body suspension is presented.

Accelerating energy-aware spatiotemporal path planning for the lunar poles
TL;DR: This work presents improvements in energy-aware spatiotemporal path planning for multiple waypoints to significantly reduce planning time and uses a time-compression technique to simplify planning in areas where changes occur infrequently.
