Task scheduling for autonomous vehicles in the Martian environment

In the paper, we introduced a novel variant of Electric VRP/TSP, the Solar Powered Rover Routing Problem (SPRRP), to tackle the routing of energy-constrained autonomous electric vehicles for Martian missions. We proposed a basic formulation of the problem based on the graph model that decomposes each Point of Interest into movement, charging, and research tasks. We have also outlined further possibilities for extending the problem.
