Planetary Exploration with Robot Teams: Implementing Higher Autonomy With Swarm Intelligence

Since the beginning of space exploration, Mars and the moon have been examined via orbiters, landers, and rovers. More than 40 missions have targeted Mars, and over 100 have been sent to the moon. Space agencies continue to focus on developing novel strategies and technologies for probing celestial bodies. Multirobot systems are particularly promising for planetary exploration, as they are more ro...
