AUTONOMY SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR LORAX (LIFE ON ICE ROBOTIC ANTARCTIC EXPLORER)
The objective of the LORAX mission is for an autonomous rover to navigate more than 100 kilometers on the Antarctic ice, while taking ice samples and analyzing them for evidence of life. The mission will provide important scientific results about life in Antarctica, while also evaluating technology...

The LORAX rover operations will be entirely autonomous, requiring a reliable autonomous control system that can handle environmental uncertainties and changes in operations goals.

The key notions in the architecture are the use of a flexible plan representation and continuous replanning to handle environmental uncertainty.
