AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS AND ROBOTICS
Single Cycle Instrument
Single Cycle Instrument Placement
Allowing rapid and reliable inspections and close-up in situ measurements of multiple targets distributed throughout an unstructured and unpredictable worksite-- without continuous operator supervision. This efficient goal-level commanding capability represents an order of magnitude improvement in MER class rover inspection capabilities and requires fewer operators.
