| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We are proposing an asteroid exploration robot system consisting of plural small size rovers. Each rover can communicate with others using radio, and a wireless mesh network is configured on an asteroid's surface. Our proposed system has the following three advantages against a conventional exploration system using one or two rovers: (1)It is possible to explore a wider area of an asteroid efficiently. (2)Since the mesh network has redundant communication paths, our exploration system has more robustness against some troubles. (3)It is possible to estimate the relative distances among plural rovers by using the mesh network.
