Abstract
Science-driven autonomy involves automating the detection of scientific events and their classification on board the rover. Such events may be static or transient, the latter allowing for scientific data acquisition while mobile. This will drive reductions in ground station operational costs, increased quality of science data through limited communications bandwidths, and enhanced intelligent scientific data processing.
