In the last decades, Mars exploration has been carried out using orbiters, landers and rovers. In the future, these vehicles could be integrated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Autoport is a student project of the University of Padua whose goal is to design, build and test a suite of sensors and mechanisms for autonomous Mars UAVs using COTS hardware. The features investigated are a battery recharge system, a docking mechanism and a navigation system. This paper describes the systems integrated by the Autoport Project and presents the preliminary test results conducted to validate the proposed architecture.

Abstract
In the last decades, Mars exploration has been carried out using orbiters, landers and rovers. In the future, these vehicles could be integrated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Autoport is a student project of the University of Padua whose goal is to design, build and test a suite of sensors and mechanisms for autonomous Mars UAVs using COTS hardware. The features investigated are a battery recharge system, a docking mechanism and a navigation system. This paper describes the systems integrated by the Autoport Project and presents the preliminary test results conducted to validate the proposed architecture.File in questo prodotto:
