This
paper presents the design, architecture, and constructions of a planetary
autonomous exploration vehicle platform, which can be used to develop and test
Artificial Intelligence, based software and generate a large dataset for the
training of neural networks. It can also be used for testing a wide range of
sensors. Rovers will be at the frontier of planetary exploration, capable of
executing tasks without human supervision in a harsh and unpredictable
environment, and to do so it requires real-time control over its actuators to
keep it away from a risky situation. Due to the limitations imposed by
communication latency and small window of communication through deep space
satellites, existing Mars rovers are semi-autonomous. To develop AI-based
software for the rover, a low-cost alternative of a planetary rover is
required, which can facilitate data generation from different types of sensors
and actuators for a long duration and perform all possible scenarios and
actions. Presently this task is done using simulation or replicas of the actual
rovers used in planetary missions which are very costly. The proposed rover
design is a low-cost alternative, capable of powering, driving varieties of
sensors, scale up to new hardware and record data as specified by the user. It
can also be used to test the newly developed algorithm before being tested on
an actual rover. This platform can be used as a simulation platform for
software as the proposed platform is directly in contact with the environmental
factors.
