With the growing development of autonomous navigation technologies, transportation systems have become safer and hassle-free. However, this decreasing necessity for human intervention has been both a boon and a bane for novel technologies. Utilising autonomous driving systems in highly rugged terrains has become very sophisticated and challenging. Upgradation of persisting navigation technologies in deformed terrains can improve accessibility, economy, security, traffic, and travel time. Therefore, the current preliminary research illustrates an acoustic wave and visual navigation-based rover system that can better navigate by monitoring the terra-formations using the acoustic and visual sensors to receive the reflected signal and image, respectively. The implementation tries to map the sensed world to a digital twin that the rover navigates through. The realisation of the model and the essential metrics are illustrated. The extension of the proposed technology to a grander scale in automobiles must be examined in several other environments and more focused on.
