Intelligent algorithms of navigation on the surface of Mars planet

AbstractThe new intelligent algorithms for navigation on the surface of Mars planet, especially for astronaut, are proposed in this paper. The autonomous navigation system for astronaut is based on inertial measurement unit (redundant) and Laser (redundant), which permit to localize and navigate in known environment and unknown environment constructing its map in real time, using SLAM robust adaptive algorithms. The estimation of the position of astronauts is done using non linear adaptive filters as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and other non linear variants filters. For Mars exploration, these tools are necessary and important for safety of all the future missions, because it answers at the problem of how to extend the existing solutions of localization and Navigation on the earth to Mars surface, according to the magnetic, gravity and orbital parameter's changes.
