This paper introduces a novel, computationally efficient, random-search based path-
planning algorithm specifically designed to enhance the dexterous accessibility of …

This paper presents the development and evaluation of an optimization-based autonomous
trajectory planning algorithm for the asteroid reconnaissance phase of a deep-space …

For future planetary missions, we envision the use of multi-agent networks that
autonomously and cooperatively explore a planet's subsurface. To this end, we consider …

Future space structures like the proposed Lunar Gateway may benefit from autonomous
inspection and maintenance, especially during extended uncrewed periods. Small satellites …

In the realm of extraterrestrial exploration, robotics has primarily centered around the
deployment of large and complex rovers for planetary missions. Therefore, the risk of total …

The Endurance mission concept requires a lunar rover to traverse thousands of kilometers
over a long period of time (hundreds of days), across the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far …

We introduce MoonDB, a distributed database designed to support cooperative robotic
exploration and distributed measurements for NASA's upcoming Cooperative Autonomous …

Multiagent systems are increasingly used in complex coordination tasks such as
environmental monitoring, underwater exploration, and air-traffic management. These tasks …
