MANTLE framework enables adaptive planetary perception for Mars rovers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed MANTLE, a novel framework for adaptive planetary perception designed for autonomous robotic platforms. This system utilizes a shared DINOv2 backbone with task-specific heads for landform classification and boulder segmentation, achieving high accuracy on Martian terrain data. A key innovation is the Modular Uplink Principle, allowing new perception capabilities to be trained on Earth and uploaded without full model retraining, enabling future explorers to continuously adapt and improve.
