  3. science

  4. rover-based science location reconnaissance and remote science look around, decide where to go characterize surface, decide which materials to investigate in situ target approach and contact science see, smell ... up close with hand lens characterize petrology, minerology, and chemistry of rocks and soils decide which materials to sample for analytical laboratory instruments sample acquisition and laboratory science return to lab and perform detailed analyses measure carbon, organics, and isotopes go to next location identified in data taken from orbit, and repeat all science decisions made by scientists on the groundno science autonomy source: M. Golombek

  5. key aspects of MSL baseline large rover delivered by sky crane with no EDL hazard avoidance mobility system is landing gear, tolerant of hazards within landing ellipse hazards to mobility are sparce -- 130 m mean free path science scenario mission 1 Martian year (687 days = 670 sols) at each of 3 to 4 locations 3 sols location reconnaissance approach and take measurements of 19 to 25 targets at each of 28 to 74 targets 1 week to 10 days making contact measurements, acquiring samples, processing samples, and making laboratory measurements ground science in the loop at each step travel ~250 m between locations 5 sols @ 50 m/sol, planned on ground using stereo images total mission traverse from 3 to 6 km

  6. rover algorithms in science scenario location reconnaissance no special autonomy throughput limited by downlink capacity target approach potential for autonomy to reduce sols consumed sample acquisition and processing no special autonomy performance driven by mechanism design and control algorithms throughput limited by ground loops for science decisions traverse potential for autonomy to reduce sols consumed traverse science low probability, high payoff potential for unanticipated scientific find meaningful only for long traverses passing features before seen by ground path into project is science AO proposal, funded by science, not project

  7. potential benefits of onboard autonomy measures sols saved for science multipliers actions at each location (3 to 4) actions at each target (28 to 74) actions at each sol (670)

  8. robotic operational paradigms

  9. rover traverse -- sensory envelopes 1 2 what rover sees in 3D 3 what can be seen in orbital images, etc what rover sees in 2D to the horizon graphic assist: D. Eisenman

  10. traverse MER 1 2 3 shading indicates primary responsibility for operational safety

  11. rover instrument placement -- sensory envelopes what the rover sees in 3D at manipulator resolution within the manipulator workspace 1 2 3 what the rover sees in 3D at mobility resolution what rover sees in 2D to the horizon

  12. instrument placement MER 1 2 3 shading indicates primary responsibility for operational safety

  13. tuning validation • validation of specific terrain types • enables tuning scope of validation • operations people must understand terrains that have been validated • can revert to level-1 operations when entering unvalidated terrains • is not useful until terrain type is thoroughly validated • operations-time validation vs development-time validation • operations validation assures a particular instance of activity will work • development validation assures classes of activity will work • development validation during operations • entering unvalidated terrain acquires knowledge of the new terrain • models of new terrain is built and then used for validating new terrain • newly validated terrain is added to validated set

  20. MSL surface GNC

  21. robotics and surface GNC • robotics functionality distributed across two teams • surface GNC (Ed Wong, Jim Alexander, et al.) • vehicle motion • positioning and pointing of remote and contact science instruments and GNC sensors • manipulation task (Paul Backes, et al.) • sample acquisition, handling, and processing • research-to-flight path for algorithms is through these teams

  22. current surface system baseline • MER capabilities • stereo vision range sensing from MER (Maimone) • GESTALT hazard detection from MER (Maimone) • GESTALT hazard avoidance is upscope likely to be included • arm hazard detection from MER (Leger) • includes both environment and self-collision detection • project specified • position estimation from project GNC team • likely to include 6-DOF EKF estimation • driven by availability of IMU, support of night operations, etc. • manipulation from project manipulation task

  23. current surface system upscopes • higher priority • GESTALT hazard avoidance from MER (Maimone) • already included with GESTALT hazard detection • visual odometry (Chang) • included in MER software • target tracking • reduction of target approach sols for all targets • lower priority • handoff target from mast to body cameras • amount and frequency of benefit dependent upon targets selected • arm hazard avoidance • benefit only for reachable targets in cluttered environments • reposition vehicle for manipulability • benefit dependent upon accuracy of approach and arm workspace • simple crabbing may suffice in most cases when useful

  24. robotics algorithm prioritization process • meetings held to advise project on algorithm need and payoff • types of algorithms prioritized, alternative algorithms not prioritized • mission criticality • high = can't do mission without • medium = noticeable performance benefit to mission • low = low performance benefit or not applicable to mission • urgency for technology work • high = needs immediate work to be ready by PDR • medium = needs technology work prior to PDR • low = can be done within project development process • participants from MTP, MER and Sojourner, MSL, and 348 • new technology providers explicitly not requested in this forum • priorization results in spreadsheet • <URL>

  25. robotics algorithm prioritization highlights • high criticality • stereo vision ranging • mobility hazard detection • position estimation • arm hazard detection • sample acquisition and handling (several items) • medium criticality / high urgency • target tracking • contact vector selection • arm control for coring • medium criticality / medium urgency • arm hazard avoidance • not on nor added to the prioritization list • handoff of tracking target from mast to body cameras

  26. notes on alternative algorithms • alternative algorithms not prioritized • mobility hazard detection and avoidance • GESTALT (MER/Maimone) • DriveMaps (FIDO/Aghazarian) • Sojourner (Sojourner/Wilcox) • target tracking • 2D/3D target tracking (Rocky8/Nesnas) • homography-based target relative estimation (FIDO/Huntsberger) • 3D surface matching (K9/Deans) • mast to body camera target handoff (functionality not in prioritization list) • (Li) • (K9/Pederson) • single algorithm supporting function treated as default selection • algorithms supporting low criticality functions not listed here
