Within the project ADE – Autonomous Decision Making a rover system is developed that is capable of choosing scientifically interesting sites during a long distance autonomous traverse on celestial bodies. Main goal of the project is the conduction of a long autonomous traverse (>1km) in natural, Mars or Moon analogue terrain.

ADE: Final field testing in Wulsbüttel with DFKI rover SherpaTT
By playing the video, you accept YouTube's privacy policy.
As part of the ADE space project funded by the EU and coordinated by GMV Aerospace and Defence, the rover SherpaTT of the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center had to traverse a long distance autonomously while reacting to unexpected incidences. Originally planned to take place on Fuerteventura, the tests had to be moved to the sand well near Wulsbüttel due to the pandemic. Almost like Spain, but slightly different weather conditions.
