Human-Robot Site Survey Project
Systematic survey
• Civil engineering survey, geophysical study,resource prospecting, etc.
• Systematic, detailed coverage(necessary to ground-truth remote sensing)
• Unproductive for crew to perform manually(repetitive, tedious, time-consuming)

Haughton Crater: A Lunar Analog
.
Shackleton Crater at the South Pole of the Moon is 19 km in diameter and might presentH2O ice in surrounding shadowed zones. It is a prime candidate site for human exploration.Haughton Crater, also ~ 20 km in size, is by far the best preserved impact structure of itsclass on Earth and is located in a H2O ground ice–rich rocky desert. Haughton may be thebest overall scientific and operational analog for lunar craters such as Shackleton.

Lessons Learned
Operations
• Dense coverage requires long distance driving
• Continuous navigation is a key enabler for long-duration, long-distance driving
• Instrument constraints have a huge impact on systems operations
Visualization tools
• Essential for rapid contingency handling & high duty-cycle
• Provide awareness of robot status & perception
• Unified science & robot data facilitates situational awareness
Software Architecture
• Modular reconfigurable architecture enabled rapid instrumentintegration and field test adaptations
• COTS tools greatly facilitated development
! Google Earth: geo-spatial display & public outreach
! CORBA: robust comm performance across satellite links

Conclusion
Key Points
• Systematic survey is one task that should be performed by robots
! Robotic surveying is realistic & achievable (TRL 5)
! Unproductive for crew to have to perform manually
• Intermittent control is sufficient for IVA & ground operations
• Mission performance can be increased by off-loading utility tasks(routine, tedious, repetitive) to robots
