One of the main challenges in autonomous robotic exploration and navigation in unknown
and unstructured environments is determining where the robot can or cannot safely move. A …

Lunar pits are small (∼ 10–300 m wide) collapse features with vertical walls and sometimes
overhangs. We have identified almost 300 pits, mostly in ponds of cooled impact melt inside …

Although autonomy has gained widespread usage in structured and controlled
environments, robotic autonomy in unknown and off-road terrain remains a difficult problem …

Lava tubes and caves, when accessible for man, are very common in volcanic environments
and poorly known to non-specialists. This short overview presents the distribution and forms …

High-resolution orbital imagery from the LROC reveals evidence of subsurface voids and
mare-pits on the lunar surface. Similar discoveries have been made with the HiRISE camera …
