Enhanced AutoNav for Perseverance Rover on Mars
Description
AutoNav on the Perseverance Rover autonomously plans a safe path based on stereo navigation camera images, based on multiple technologies including a tree search for decision making, Dijkstra algorithm for global path planning, stereo processing for 3D terrain reconstruction, and Approximate Clearance Evaluation (ACE) for safety checks.
Detailed example
Recommended navigation path for Mars Rover.
AI / analytics pattern
