AI4Mars: Rover Wheel

This is an annotated image of Perseverance's robotic arm and an outlined area in AI4Mars. The rover is positioned to the right and wheel tracks and the rocky, sandy surface of Mars are visible in the background.

October 26, 2021

Parts of Perseverance are visible beside an area outlined in AI4Mars. The project already used images from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover and help from the public to train an artificial intelligence algorithm; now the project is using images from Perseverance.
