Abstract: Recent advances in micro-technology and mobile robotics have enabled the development of extremely small, automated vehicles for new application frontiers. One of these possible applications is the use of miniature robotic vehicles equipped with on-board science instruments for planetary surface exploration. One such vehicle is being developed as part of a technology research task at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. A rover prototype has been integrated into a package of several hundred grams in...
