Chapter 50 — Modeling and Control of Robots on Rough Terrain
Interactive, human-robot supervision test with the long-range science rover for Mars exploration
This video records a demonstration of the long-range rover mission on the surface of Mars. The Mars rover, the test bed Rocky 7, performs several demonstrations including 3-D terrain mapping using the panoramic camera, telescience over the internet, an autonomous mobility test, and soil sampling.
This demonstration was among the preliminary tests for the Mars Pathfinder mission executed in 1997.
