惑星ロボットの知覚と自律性のためのシミュレーション：最近の能力と課題に関する簡潔な調査

原文アブストラクト

Planetary robotics is an important enabler of scientific exploration in environments where direct human-in-the-loop operation is costly, hazardous, or infeasible. However, developing and validating planetary robotic systems remains difficult because representative field testing is expensive, limited, and often unrepeatable under mission-relevant conditions. In this setting, simulation serves as a central tool for perception and autonomy research, synthetic data generation, system integration, and pre-deployment evaluation. Despite its importance, the literature on planetary robotics simulation remains dispersed across different simulation engines, implementations, and application settings. This paper surveys simulation works for planetary robotic perception and autonomy across four practical axes: Openness and Availability, Scenario and Platform Coverage, Sensor and Perception Support, and Environmental and Operational Realism. The surveyed simulation works report visual or physical fidelity and support perception-oriented workflows. They also indicate uneven public availability, rover-centered coverage, partial support for specialized sensing modalities, and uneven reporting of operational constraints such as onboard computation, energy, and communication restrictions.
