High-Rate Mobility Request for Information (RFI)
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
About this opportunity
NASA/ Ames Research Center (ARC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for planetary surface mobility and navigation. High-Rate Mobility Overview: NASA is investigating robust, high-rate, autonomous surface mobility for future planetary surface missions, including advances in perception sensors and high-performance space computing to enable high-speed autonomy to drive farther faster and with less need for human operator intervention. Taking advantage of new flight-worthy sensors like rover-capable Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors combined with a new generation of high-performance space computing, future systems will go beyond the kinds of navigation algorithms used by current planetary rovers like Perseverance or the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration R...
