                                          Abstract: Monitoring the rover slip is important; however, a certain level of estimation uncertainty
                                          is inevitable. In this paper, we establish slip estimation models for China’s Mars rover, Zhurong,
                                          using Gaussian process regression (GPR). The model was able to predict not only the average value
                                          of the longitudinal (slip_x) and lateral slip (slip_y), but also the maximum possible value that slip_x
                                          and slip_y could reach. The training data were collected on two simulated soils, TYII-2 and JLU
                                          Mars-2, and the GA-BP algorithm was applied as a comparison. The analysis results demonstrated
                                          that the soil type and dataset source had a direct impact on the applicability of the slip model on
                                          Mars conditions. The properties of the Martian soil near the Zhurong landing site were closer to the
                                          JLU Mars-2 simulated soil. The proposed GPR model had high estimation accuracy and estimation
                                          potential in slip value, and a 95% confidence interval that the rover could reach during motion. This
                                          work was part of a research effort aimed at ensuring the safety of Zhurong. The slip value may be
                                          used in subsequent path tracking research, and the slip confidence interval will be able to help guide
                                          path planning.

                            estimation. Gonzalez et al. [5,19] used linear acceleration, vertical acceleration, and pitch
                            rate, measured by Inertial Measurement Unite (IMU), as input features, and realized the
                            slip level classification through various machine learning algorithms, such as Artificial
                            Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Self-Organizing Mapping (SOM),
                            and so on. The Lunar All-Terrain Utility Vehicle (LATUV) rover was used to validate the
                            models, and a concrete-making factory and an abandoned mine were chosen to be test sites.
                            Dimastrogiovanni et al. [20] took driving torque, longitudinal force, and friction coefficient
                            as inputs, constructed a terrain classifier through SVM, and associated terrain types with
                            slip level labels. Sand types corresponded to high slip and rock types corresponded to low
                            slip. The research was tested using the rover SherpaTT, provided by German Research
                            Center for Artificial Intelligence, and the test site was an outdoor area in soft sand dunes in
                            Morocco. The proprioceptive-based data-driven approach is becoming a common trend
                            in slip estimation research, as it can adapt to complex environment and overcome the
                            dependence on images of the surrounding environment. However, few studies have taken
                            into account the differences in gravitational acceleration and soil conditions between Earth
                            and Mars or the Moon. The datasets used to train and validate these models were almost
                            all obtained on completely natural Earth terrain, which cannot guarantee applicability of
                            the trained models on Mars or the Moon.
                                  China’s first Mars rover Zhurong successfully landed on the southern Utopia Planitia
                            of Mars at 109.925◦ E, 25.066◦ N on 15 May 2021 [21]. Figure 2 shows the routing path of
                            Zhurong during the three-month-long designed life and the typical pictures returned by
                            Zhurong. After completing its primary exploration tasks, Zhurong continued to carry out an
                            extended expedition toward an ancient coastal area of Utopia Planitia. Inevitably, it would
                            have to pass through complex terrains with slip-prone areas in the exploration process.
                                  The primary aim of our research was to establish a slip estimation model for the Mars
                            rover Zhurong. In our previous work [22,23], we used the Back Propagation neural network
                            (BP) and optimized BP based on a genetic algorithm (GA-BP) to train models, and GA-BP
                            models were proven to have good slip estimation performance by model evaluation and
                            validation. However, GA-BP models did not take uncertainty into consideration. As slip
                            estimation models are expected to provide the basis for slip-based path planning and path
                            tracking, obtaining uncertainty in slip estimation has significance for subsequent research.
                            This paper was a continuation of previous work; we established models able to estimate slip
                            values and confidence intervals, and further discussed models based on different soil types.
                            All data were collected in a test site equipped with a low-gravity simulation device and
                            simulated soil, such that we were able to simulate the conditions experienced by Zhurong
                            on Mars as closely as possible.
                                  The rest of this paper has been organized as follows: in Section 2, we illustrated the
                            research framework of this paper. In Section 3, we introduced the data collection process of
                            ground tests. In Section 4, we introduced the training methods. In Section 5, we showed
                            the training results, obtained by ground tests, and the estimation results, compared to real
                            data on Mars conditions. In Section 6, we provided our conclusions.
                                  The main contributions of this paper are as follows:
                            (1)   Obtained a GPR slip estimation model, which can not only have high estimation
                                  accuracy but also provides uncertainty of estimated values. The confidence interval
                                  obtained by models can be used in subsequent robust path planning research.
                            (2)   Compared models based on two kinds of simulated soil data, the results demonstrate
                                  that the soil type and dataset source had a direct impact on the applicability of the
                                  slip model on Mars conditions. In contrast, the JLU Mars-2 simulated soil are more
                                  similar to the soil near the Zhurong landing site.

                                   the average rotational speed of the six wheel-drive motors was chosen as one of the
                                   input features.

                                        The slip of the rover is measured based on the rover body frame, as shown in Figure 5.
                                   While the rover was driving on natural terrain, the slip could be broken down into lon-
                                   gitudinal slip (slip_x), lateral slip (slip_y), and rotational slip (slip yaw) [31]. This paper
                                   assumed that the slip yaw was trivial and could be canceled out by appropriate orientation
                                   control [32]; we mainly focused on slip_x and slip_y of the rover, defined as follows:

                            (3)   We calculated the expected velocity of the rover. Due to the small time interval, we
                                  considered that the rover moved in a straight or near-straight path during the interval
                                  time ∆t, and the expected velocity of the rover was defined as follows:
                                                                                !

                            (4)   We calculated the slip_x and slip_y according to Equations (1) and (2), respectively.

                                  Table 2 displays the raw data collected in ground tests. Due to the sampling frequency
                            of the rover’s position/attitude (20 Hz) having inconsistency with the sampling frequency
                            of the motor current/velocity (1 Hz), the current and angular velocity data needed to
                            be interpolated by simple linear interpolation. The step time of the research was set to
                            0.05 s [22]. On TYII-2 and JLU Mars-2, approximately 7500 and 4600 data points were
                            obtained, respectively. The hold-out method was used to randomly split the ground test
                            data into the training set (66.7%) and testing set (33.3%). In this paper, each ground type
                            was used to obtain a single trained model. Therefore, we would like to compare which
                            model is more applicable to the Mars conditions, so that we can see which type of simulated
                            soil is more similar to the soil in the Zhurong landing areas.

                            4. Training Methods
                                  Under the same input conditions, slip also has distribution uncertainty. For the safety
                            of the rover, it was critical to know not only the average value of the slip, but also the
                            maximum possible value that the slip could reach [33]. GPR is a nonparametric model
                            for regression analysis of data using the Gaussian process (GP) as a prior for Bayesian
                            inference. It exhibits strong adaptability and generalization ability. Furthermore, GPR
                            synthesizes both data and model uncertainty to estimate uncertainty [34,35]. Therefore,
                            GPR was used to train models in this paper. GA-BP, proposed in our previous work, was
                            also used to train models and compared with the performance of GPR, as fully detailed in
                            the literature [22].
                                  GP is defined as a collection of random variables, any finite number of which have
                            consistent joint Gaussian distributions, and is fully specified by their mean function m(x)
                            and covariance function k(x, x0 ), where x and x0 are random variables [36]. Treat the
                            mean function m(x) as zero for the convenience of calculation, and there is no loss of
                            generalization.
                                                                f ( x ) ∼ GP(0, k( x, x 0 ))                          (5)
                                 Generally, the data were episodically affected by noise from various sources; the
                            slippage observations can be represented as

                                                                       s = f (x) + ε                                  (6)

                            where f (·) is assumed as a zero-mean Gaussian process, is noise-dependent and follows

                                       models are unstable, the optimal performance of GPR models is beyond the reach of GA-BP
                                       models. MAE_x = 0.29% signified that the estimated slip_x values closely approximated the

                                       both GPR models and GA-BP models could complete the estimation with good accuracy.

                                               To further explore the estimation effects of GPR models, Figure 10 displays part of
                                          the GPR estimation results in the TYII-2 group (1) and JLU Mars-2 group (1). Since the test
                                          set data were randomly selected, there was no continuous trend between adjacent training
                                          data. In order to exhibit the results more clearly, Figure 10 only shows the estimation of
                                          100 data points to avoid excessively dense data points. The gray band area in the figure
                                          represents the 95% confidence interval corresponding to the estimation result. As shown,
                                          no matter what kind of soil dataset utilized, and whether it was slip_x or slip_y, the esti-
                                          mation results were consistent with the trends of actual values, and almost all real points
                                          were located within the 95% confidence interval, which means GPR models can provide
                                          a reasonable estimation of slip value uncertainty.

                                  From the above-described process, the ground cannot obtain real-time rover coordi-
                            nates when the rover is driving, thus it is impossible to directly verify the accuracy of the
                            slip estimation value during the driving process. However, we knew the planning path
                            and the actual end point/arrival after blind movement. In this paper, the predicted slip_x
                            and slip_y were converted into the longitudinal slip offset ∆x and the lateral offset ∆y,
                            respectively, and the planned path was corrected according to the longitudinal and lateral
                            offset values. Thus, we were able to obtain the slip estimation corrected path. The end
                            point of the slip-corrected path was compared with the actual points the rover reached
                            (accurate coordinates obtained by visual positioning) to evaluate the estimation effects of
                            the slip estimation models against the telemetry data. The required telemetry information
                            is shown in Table 5, and more details of the specific implementation steps are available
                            in [22]. It should be noted that the frequency of telemetry data for the rover’s attitude and
                            wheel driving motor is about 0.2~0.3 Hz, which is lower than the sampling frequency of
                            the ground tests. It means that it needs to use a estimated slip value to represent the mean
                            slip within 3 to 5 s, which may causes errors in slip offset calculations where the terrain
                            was extremely rugged. Since the terrain of the landing area of Zhurong is relatively flat, the
                            data of Zhurong does not change drastically when driving; we can consider this frequency
                            to be acceptable.
                                  In this paper, validation was conducted based on data obtained from mid-June 2021
                            (sol.27–sol.40). Table 6 shows the planning path information and actual end points of
                            arrival. As shown, there was always an offset ∆L between the actual arrival point and
                            the planned target point. The ∆L varied from 0.267 m to 0.678 m, and the largest offset
                            occurred at sol.34. Due to the limited sample, there was no uniform linear relationship
                            between the ∆L of these five movements, the planned distance, and the planned curvature.
                            According to the planned path information shown in Table 6 and the models’ estimation
                            results, Figure 12 displays the slip-corrected path and planning path (left figure of each
                            subfigure). In order to quantify and compare the estimation accuracy of the GA-BP and
                            GPR models, the offsets, ∆L_GA-BP and ∆L_GPR, between the actual arrival point and
                            the planned target point, are summarized in Table 7. Figure 12 visualizes the offset results
                            of each movement (right figure of each subfigure); the points in all subfigures represent

                                 planned path point, while the horizontal dotted lines in each subfigure represent the offset
                                 ∆L between the actual arrival point and the planned target point.
