Our full spring test plan documentation is available here: Spring Test Plan

Our schedule for the spring test plan is shown below:

For the Spring Validation Demonstration, we plan on testing the following requirements:

Spring Validation Demonstration Plan

ObjectiveF.R.Success Criteria
TraversabilityM.F.5Will climb gradients up to 15° and have a contact pressure of less than 1.5 kPa. [M.P.3]
Tool OperationM.F.6, M.F.7Will fill craters of up to 0.5 meters in diameter and 0.1m in depth. [M.P.5]
NavigationM.F.3, M.F.4Will localize itself and follow planned path to a maximum deviation of 10%. [M.P.2]
Autonomous OperationM.F.2, M.F.9Will operate autonomously and communication robot state and mission status to the user.

Descriptions:

  • Location: MoonYard in the Planetary Robotics Lab. Craters constructed to emulate a possible straight groomed path.
  • Needed Equipment: ROADSTER with Tools, Total Station, Operations Terminal, Survey LiDAR to build 3D Map.
  • Procedure: 3D Map of the MoonYard is fed to the rover along with a pre-planned straight path. ROADSTER autonomously grooms the trail while the user monitors the mission using the operations terminal.

Fall Validation Demonstration Plan

ObjectiveF.R.Success Criteria
Trail Path PlanningM.F.1Will plan a path with cumulative deviation of <= 25% from chosen latitude’s length. Will avoid craters >= 0.5 metres and avoid slopes >= 15° [M.P.1, M.P.4]
ValidationM.F.8Will groom and validate the trail to have a maximum traversal slope of 5° [M.P.6]

Descriptions:

  • Location: MoonYard in the Planetary Robotics Lab. Craters constructed to emulate a circuitous/semi-circuitous path.
  • Needed Equipment: ROADSTER with Tools, Total Station, Operations Terminal, Survey LiDAR to build 3D Map.
  • Procedure: 3D Map of the MoonYard is fed to the rover along with a pre-planned ideal path. ROADSTER autonomously grooms the trail while the user monitors the mission using the operations terminal. The path is validated and a mission complete signal is sent to the user.
