Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.

Abstract (eng): In search of conditions and substances that support life on Mars, the utilization of robotic rovers becomes more and more important.
However, the task of robot teleoperation over huge distances involves challenging problems.
One of the biggest challenges is the task of autonomous navigation, in particular localization and hazard detection.
New approaches and navigation systems of recent Mars rover missions are presented.
Based on the particular solutions, a general navigation system for the European Micro-RoSA-2 rover is proposed.
In accordance with the rovers mission objectives and following the navigation system design of the Sojourner and the European Nanokhod rover, the proposed system consists of three parts: ground control, lender, and rover.
The Earth based control software enables goal designation, leaving the responsibility of local hazard detection to the rover.
The rover localization function is implemented on the lander, which continously tracks the vehicle's motion in order to avoid errors imposed by dead reckoning estimations.
The implementation of the system does mainly focus on the localization function.
By using image processing techniques, active markers mounted on the rover are detected in a pair of stereo images acquired by the lender.
An estimation of the instantaneous rover position is calculated by matching the back projected marker positions to their actual geometry.
The systems performance was investigated in terms of positioning accuracy and precision.
At a distance of 7.5 m the system shows an accuracy of 4 cm (RMS) whereas the precision was determined at 2 cm (RMS).
