ADE is an H2020 project funded by the European Commission within Strategic Research Cluster on Space Robotics Technologies. ADE brings together the European industrial and research leaders in space robotics autonomy.
The overall objective of the Strategic Research Cluster (SRC) in Space Robotics Technologies is to deliver by 2023/2024 key technologies at a significant scale suitable for two major application domains: orbital and surface exploration. More specifically this 2016 SRC assumes as reference/target scenarios in-orbit servicing and planetary rover autonomous exploration.
ADE shall fulfil, as minimum, the following main objectives:
Achieve autonomous long range navigation with high reliability: the rover system shall perform long term mapping and path planning and successive motion control over distances in the range of kilometres per sol;
Guarantee consistent data detection while avoiding un-detection of interesting data along mission path: to maximize the scientific return along it nominal long traverse journey;
Autonomous decision making capabilities in presence of conflicts.
Reach a higher TRL level for its future use in space, there must be a clear path for reaching higher levels of TRL (5/6 min) at component and system level.
Safety: The system must demonstrate that it is capable of keeping the rover in safe conditions in the presence of failures or any unexpected events.
Achieve a flexible-purpose surface robotic system design.
