In robotics , the exploration problem deals with the use of a robot to maximize the knowledge over a particular area.

The field of robotic explorations draws from various fields of information gathering and decision theory , and have been studied as far back as the 1950s. The earliest work in robotic exploration was done in the context of simple finite state automata known as bandits, where algorithms were designed to distinguish and map different states in a finite state automaton . Since then, the primary emphasis has been shifted to the robotics system development domain, where exploration algorithms guided robot have been used to survey volcanos, ref name Bares1999 cite journal author Bares, J.E. coauthors Wettergreen, D.S. year 1999 title Dante II Technical Description, Results, and Lessons Learned journal The International Journal of Robotics Research volume 18 issue 7 pages 621 url http ijr.sagepub.com cgi content abstract 18 7 621 accessdate 2008 07 18 doi 10.1177 02783649922066475 ref search and rescue, and abandoned mines mapping. ref name Thrun2003 cite conference author Thrun, S. coauthors Hahnel, D.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Desert exploration is the deliberate and scientific exploration of desert s, the arid regions of the earth . It is only incidentally concerned with the culture and livelihood of native desert dwellers . The nature of desert s ensures that the story of their exploration is filled with tragedy. Many expedition members met their deaths due to the harsh conditions. Unlike earlier naval exploration and later space exploration, there was little hope of financial reward, and desert expeditions were generally undertaken for scientific purposes, in search of earlier explorers who had vanished, or for the challenge alone. The following sections list deserts around the world, and their explorers. Expeditions are listed by their leaders details of other expedition members may be found via the links.

Outdoor Exploration is a collective expression for activities that include exploring the geography around us. Although many people immediately think of the more specialist activities such as mountain biking , potholing and rambling through the mountains the term equally applies to a family walk in the park or a visit to the architectural high spots of a city. Outdoor explorers often frequent national park s and other publicly owned natural areas and may belong to an association such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds RSPB , Great Walk Networking a bushwalking community in Western Australia or the Cyclists Touring Club CTC . The phrase was developed by Ordnance Survey ref Used to describe their consumer segment in http www.official documents.gov.uk document hc0506 hc12 1277 1277.pdf Ordnance Survey Annual Report and Accounts 2005 06 . ref , the national mapping agency for Great Britain ref Note that the Ordnance Survey currently deals only with maps of Great Britain and to an extent, the Isle of Man .

The exploration of Neptune has only begun with one explorer, Voyager 2 , which visited on August 25, 1989. The possibility of a Neptune Orbiter was discussed, yet other than that, no other missions have been given serious thought. As Neptune is a gas giant and has no solid surface, a surface mission such as a Lander spacecraft lander or Rover space exploration rover is improbable. Image neptune.jpg thumb 150px Neptune Voyager 2 main Voyager 2 In Voyager 2 s last planetary encounter, the spacecraft swooped only 3,000 miles above Neptune s north pole, the closest approach it made to any body since it left Earth . Voyager 2 studied Neptune Atmosphere Neptune s atmosphere , Rings of Neptune Neptune s rings , its Neptune Magnetosphere magnetosphere , and Moons of Neptune Neptune s moons . Several discoveries were made, including the discovery of the Great Dark Spot and Triton moon Triton s geysers. Voyager 2 revealed that Neptune s atmosphere was very dynamic, even though it receives only 3 of the sunlight Jupiter receives. Voyager 2 discovered an anticyclone called the Great Dark Spot , similar to Jupiter s Great Red Spot and Little Red Spot . However, images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that the Great Dark Spot had disappeared. Also seen in Neptune s atmosphere at that time was an almond shaped spot designated D2, and a bright, quickly moving cloud high above the cloud decks dubbed Scooter .

The exploration of Saturn has been solely done by robotic probes. Like all gas giant s, there is no solid surface for a solid probe to land on. Most missions therefore have been flybys, although the Cassini Huygens spacecraft is currently in orbit. Flybys Pioneer 11 flyby Image P11F81.jpg thumb 120px Pioneer 11 image of Saturn. Saturn was first visited by Pioneer 11 in September 1979. It flew within 20,000 km of the top of the planet s cloud layer. Low resolution images were acquired of the planet and a few of its moons the resolution of the images was not good enough to discern surface features. The spacecraft also studied the rings among the discoveries were the thin F ring and the fact that dark gaps in the rings are bright when viewed towards the Sun, or in other words, they are not empty of material. Pioneer 11 also measured the temperature of Titan at 250 Kelvin K . ref http spaceprojects.arc.nasa.gov Space Projects pioneer PN10&11.html ref Voyager Expand section date February 2012 In November 1980, the Voyager 1 probe visited the Saturn system. It sent back the first high resolution images of the planet, rings, and satellites. Surface features of various moons were seen for the first time. Because of the earlier discovery of a thick atmosphere on Titan, the Voyager controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory elected for Voyager 1 to make a close approach of Titan. This greatly increased our knowledge of the atmosphere of the moon, but also proved that Titan s atmosphere is impenetrable in visible wavelengths, so no surface details were seen. The flyby also changed the spacecraft s trajectory out from the plane of the solar system which prevented Voyager 1 from completing the Planetary Grand Tour of Uranus, Neptune & Pluto.
