Advices and Comments from Audiences:

John:

– prefer a holistic test instead of individual test for components;

– shall define our scope ASAP, and decide how deep we are going to dig into the stuck scenarios;

– due to the challenging essence of the entrapment and rescue problem, we do not have to make it work in a sophisticated scenario, and instead, we shall present a complete process of rescue;

About the stuck rover:

– we shall explore rovers coordination during rescue procedure, and on what level we shall do it;

About rescuer rover getting stuck:

– we know the map a head of time, which shall ensure that the rescuer rover do not get stuck too;

– we are going to focus on the rescue process, (so we are not going to do the mapping etc. which is a prerequisite of preventing the rescuer rover from getting stuck if we do not know the map a head of time);

D.B.:

– Look up remote center compliance (RCC) devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Center_Compliance)

About stuck scenarios:

– is high-centering the most relevant case to planetary environment?

– we shall lockdown to one scenario, which does make sense and is the most relevant;

– need to nail down the scenario and stuck modes, and come up with the detailed test plan ASAP;

About obstacles:

– specifications (size? … etc.)

– we know a head of time, because we are not going to focus on online mapping;
