A new publication named “SLAM for autonomous planetary rovers with global localization” has been published in the Journal of Field Robotics, This publication describes the thesis performed from Dimitrios Geromichalos, with the collaboration of ESA (European Space Agency) and our team. This paper describes a novel approach to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques applied to the autonomous planetary rover exploration scenario to reduce both the relative and absolute localization errors, using two well‐proven techniques: particle filters and scan matching.
