U of T researchers' autonomous system makes it easier to transport cargo on the moon

U of T Researchers Develop Autonomous System for Lunar Cargo Transport

Researchers at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) have developed autonomy algorithms to enhance cargo transport on the moon, making it safer and more efficient for astronauts.

Professor Tim Barfoot and PhD student Alec Krawciw are part of a team led by MDA Space, working on technology to aid Canada's proposed lunar utility vehicle in navigating between cargo drop-off points during future lunar missions.

Autonomy algorithms could one day make cargo transport on the moon safer and more efficient for astronauts.
