Visual teach and repeat for long‐range rover autonomy
Abstract
This paper describes a system built to enable long‐range rover autonomy using a stereo camera as the only sensor. During a learning phase, the system builds a manifold map of overlapping submaps as it is piloted along a route. The map is then used for localization as the rover repeats the route autonomously. The use of local submaps allows the rover to faithfully repeat long routes without the need for an accurate global reconstruction. Path following over nonplanar terrain is handled by performing localization in three dimensions and then projecting this down to a local ground plane associated with the current submap to perform path tracking. We have tested this system in an urban area and in a planetary analog setting in the Canadian High Arctic. More than 32 km was covered—99.6% autonomously—with autonomous runs ranging from 45 m to 3.2 km, all without the use of the global positioning system (GPS). Because it enables long‐range autonomous behavior in a single command cycle, visual teach and repeat is well suited to planetary applications, such as Mars sample return, in which no GPS is available. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
