1 THE PROVISCOUT FIELD TRIALS TENERIFE 2012 INTEGRATED TESTING OF AEROBOT MAPPING, ROVER NAVIGATION AND SCIENCE ASSESSMENT Gerhard Paar, Laurence Tyler, Dave Barnes, Mark Woods, Andy Shaw, Konstantinos Kapellos, Tomas Pajdla, Alberto Medina, Derek Pullan, Andrew Griffiths, Jan-Peter Muller, Derek Long and the PRoViScout Team

2 2 FP7-SPACE to Rover Navigation & Science Scout Rover Full Implementation of Rover Control & Autonomy 12 European Partners PRoViScout

3 Planetary Robotics Vision Scouting Chain!!

4 Planetary Robotics Vision Scouting Chain!! Planetary Robotics Vision Monitoring

5 5 Field Trials Objectives: Autonomous Science in Practice Verify technical & strategic concept Test all components in representative field environment Integrate, test & verify component integration with demonstrator platform Provide www interface for remote activities monitoring and visualisation Point out future problems / development needs Validate the proposed operational planning approach for autonomous science. Detect the presence of physical layering (for determination of the sedimentary environment and stratigraphy) Detect the presence of anomalously coloured areas in an outcrop (for determination of compositional variation).

6 6 First integration of Rover Field Trials Rehearsal: Aberystwyth June 2012 Vision system (AUPE, 3D mapping, Panorama, VO) Science assessment Path planning Navigation

7 Field Trials: Permit Acquisition

10 Planning / Preparation In 2011 (during PRoVisG Field Trials on Tenerife) trajectory was chosen Several field trials in Aberystwyth In Summer 2012 detailed planning: Contact with local support (ActiveConnect) Permits of National Authorities Booking of accomodation (The Parador, few kms from test site) Equipment Broadband Satellite Application incl. power supply Transportation (most of all Idris) Health and safety instructions for participants Test schedules

11 Daily Schedules from Thu 13th

12 Test Site: Minas de San José ~25m carpark trajectory trail gazebo WiFi

13 System Overview & Components

14 Site Selection, Infrastructure & Logistics see following presentation by Steve Pugh

15 Technical / Scientific Tasks Generate georeferenced overall DEM (handheld & aerobot aerial images) Choose (place) relevant scientifical targets/define scientific WPs Set up HW and NW (Rover, cams, aerobot, WiFi) Test / adopt single SW components (vision, navigation, planning, science assessment, visualization) Integrate all SW components (vision, navigation, planning, science assessment) to the executive & setup on Idris processing unit Set initial DEM & WPs (Overseer ) Idris acts autonomously Results are transferred, stored & visualized

16 Tethered Aerobot Campaign

17 Aerobot Images

18 dgps measured points

19 Aerobot Ortho Image & DEM

20 Rover DEM / Ortho Image / Hazard Map Camera FoV too large Too small rocks detected as obstacles Rover position not updated

21 Science Assessment on

22 Press / Dissemination Handouts / mini-posters: English / Spanish / German Placed in hotel / on cars Handed out to tourists & press Log Book (also online) Articles in newspapers: Standard (AT) Kleine Zeitung (AT)

23 PRoViScout Live Video Feed Activity in the mission control center (path planning, simulation and monitoring) and in the field (web cam) is transmitted over a satellite link to a server at the CTU And transformed into a live video feed at

24 PRoViScout Live Video Feed, Sun 16 th / Mon 17 th Sept The Live Video Feed Web Page presents the activity of mission overseer, e.g. DEM generation, trajectory planning, scientific target detection, rover 3D visualization and live web cam view.

25 Last Day: Full Chain Navigation /Science Assessment / Decision / Monitoring

26 26 Shortcomings / room for improvement Global waypoint concept missing Provide Broadband Satellite Internet during whole trial period with sufficient upload rate (i.e. for online data processing chains or administrative work on-site) Run more small tests for HW / SW integration before OR extend duration of final field trial Take even more care for HW / rover team to not always being the first AND the last on site Hourly schedule possible not before 3 rd day of trials Talk about coordinate systems early enough!!!

27 What was very good Every day schedules and communication in general / Climate Local support (MUST have!) Logistics / transfer (amount of cars etc.) Distance hotel (Parador) Parking area test site HW (from beginning) and SW (jointly close to the end) set-up Location of test site (not seen from road not too many tourists)

28 Removing Rover Tracks Low tech Spin-off Technology
