We present a new approach for site survey by autonomous surface robots. In our method the agent constructs an intelligent map, a multi-scale model of the explored environment incorporating in situ and remote sensing data. The agent learns the model’s parameters on the fly and exploits its predictions to guide adaptive navigation and sampling. In this manner the agent can respond appropriately to novel correlations, resource constraints and execution errors. Rover tests at Amboy Crater, California demonstrate improved performance over non-adaptive strategies for a geologic survey task.
