Abstract: This paper presents results from the 2006 and 2007 test campaigns of the Canadian Space Agency’s autonomous rover navigation research. In particular, results are provided in the area of terrain modelling, path planning and 3D odometry. Results are also provided for integrated system tests whereby the rover travelled autonomously and semi-autonomously beyond its sensing horizon. It provides a summary of the experimental results that were obtained through two seasons of test campaigns.
