Title : Autonomy needs and trends in deep space exploration Material Type: reports Authors: Doyle, Richard J., Author ; California inst of technology pasadena jet propulsion lab., Other Publisher: Ft. Belvoir : Defense Technical Information Center Publication Date: 2003 Pagination: 13 p. Layout: col. ill. Size: 29 cm General note: Thesis
Includes bibliographical referncesLanguages : English (eng) Descriptors: Artificial intelligence ; Automation ; Cybernetics ; Deep space--Travel ; National Aeronautics and Space Administration ; Planets ; Solar system ; Space exploration ; Unmanned spacecrafts Class number: TL1097 Abstract: The development of onboard autonomy capability is the key to a set of vastly important strategic technical challenges facing NASA: increased efficiency in the return of quality science products, reduction of mission costs, and the launching of a new era of solar system exploration characterized by sustained presence, in-situ science investigations and missions accomplished via multiple, coordinated space platforms. Autonomy is a central capability for enabling missions that inherently must be accomplished without the benefit of ongoing ground support. This constraint may arise due to control challenges, e.g., small-body rendezvous and precision landing, or may arise due to mission planning challenges based in the difficulty of modeling the planetary environment coupled with the difficulty or impossibility of communications during critical or extended periods. A sophisticated Mars rover, a comet lander, a Europan under-ice explorer, and a Titan aerobot are examples of missions, some unprecedented, which typify these challenges. This paper describes the set of NASA missions that aim to utilize autonomy and recent developments in the creation of space platform autonomy capabilities at NASA.

Title : Challenging aerospace problems for intelligent systems Material Type: books Authors: KrishnaKumar, K., Author ; Kanashige, J., Author ; Satyadas, A., Author Publisher: Ft. Belvoir : Defense Technical Information Center Publication Date: 2003 Pagination: 17 p. Layout: ill. Size: 29 cm General note: Thesis
Includes bibliographical referencesLanguages : English (eng) Descriptors: Adaptive control systems ; Artificial intelligence ; Astronautics--Systems engineering ; Cybernetics ; Unmanned spacecrafts Class number: TL1097 Abstract: In this paper we highlight four problem domains that are well suited and challenging for intelligent system technologies. The problems are defined and an outline of a probable approach is presented. No attempt is made to define the problems as test cases. In other words, no data or set of equations that a user can code and get results are provided. The main idea behind this paper is to motivate intelligent system researchers to examine problems that will elevate intelligent system technologies and applications to a higher level.

Title : Human interfaces for robotic satellite servicing Material Type: books Authors: Anni, John D., Author ; Repperger, Daniel, Author ; Baker, Robert W., Author ; Williams, Robert L., Author ; Air force research lab wright-patterson afb oh., Other Publisher: Ft.

On-orbit servicingClass number: TL915 Abstract: On-orbit servicing (OOS) is growing in importance for the sustainment of certain satellite systems. Although it is more economical to replace satellites in many cases, OOS could be beneficial or even critical for more expensive satellites such as Space-Based Laser and constellations such as the Global Positioning System. Some future OOS missions including refueling and modular component replacement will be highly autonomous, but there will still be a need for humans to supervise and to recover when unexpected situations arise. Non-routine tasks such as damage repair or optics cleaning will likely require a more significant level of human control. The human interfaces for such activities can include body tracking systems; three-dimensional audio and video; tactile feedback devices; and others. This paper will provide some insights into when and at what level human interaction may be needed for OOS tasks. Example missions will be discussed and the argument will be made that human interfaces are important even for primarily autonomous missions. Finally some current research efforts within NASA, academia and the military will be discussed including research being conducted in the Human Sensory Feedback Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
