A Collaborative Model for Astronaut-Rover Exploration Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Astronauts and robots must collaborate effectively to safely and efficiently explore harsh extraterrestrial environments. This paper describes a basic planning tool to distribute tasks among a hybrid human-astronaut team, then examines likely scenarios in which an astronaut either deviates from the plan (e.g., to opportunistically explore) or requires assistance from a rover (e.g., when in distress or when a task can benefit from a human-robot execution team). Through adjustment of the search-space branching factor, the planner is able to act in a reactive capacity to redirect activities when a task is not completed as planned or when the astronaut requires assistance. Preliminary results are presented to illustrate system performance during nominal and off-nominal operational scenarios.

متن کاملA Virtual Rover Interface for Collaborative Human-Robot Exploration Teams
Future planetary exploration missions will employ teams of rovers as astronaut assistants and independent scouts. Individual and cooperative tasks must be accurately modeled. Mission controllers and astronauts must maintain situational awareness through global and local perspectives of the exploration team members and their environment. This paper describes the development and integration of a ...
متن کاملHuman-Robot Team Task Scheduling for Planetary Surface Missions
Future manned space exploration missions will require collaborative activities with human astronaut and robotic agents. Proposed mission planning and execution architectures rely on reactive task planning, focusing on real-time information sharing between ground personnel, astronauts, and rovers. We present a planning/scheduling strategy that autonomously optimizes initial task plans/schedules ...
