Neural Radiance Maps for Extraterrestrial Navigation and Path Planning

ArXi:2603.17236v1 Announce Type: cross Autonomous vehicles such as the Mars rovers currently lead the vanguard of surface exploration on extraterrestrial planets and moons. In order to accelerate the pace of exploration and science objectives, it is critical to plan safe and efficient paths for these vehicles. However, current rover autonomy is limited by a lack of global maps which can be easily constructed and d for onboard re-planning. Recently, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have been
