Virtual Mars Landscape Enables Testing of Robot Swarms
Marineris on Mars for the DLR Explorer project. In the virtual environment, the collaboration of autonomous space robots is to be rehearsed under real conditions. A flight from Earth to Mars takes about [...] of the Mars landscape, but are also programming interfaces to the systems of the robots that were developed by the project partners. In this way, participants can test their technologies for Mars without [...] are therefore currently developing a detailed simulation of 40 square kilometers of the surface of Mars. In addition, they are allowing several research groups to test the collaboration of space robots
