A Framework for Developing Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Satellite Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the world of educational satellites, student teams manually conduct operations daily. Educational satellites typically travel in a Low Earth Orbit allowing communication for approximately thirty minutes each day. Manual operations during these times is manageable for student teams as the required manpower is minimal. The international Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations (GENSO), however, promises satellite contact upwards of sixteen hours per day by connecting earth stations globally through the Internet. This large increase in satellite communication time makes manual student operations unreasonable and alternatives must be explored. This paper introduces a framework to conduct autonomous satellite operations using different AI methodologies. This paper additionally demonstrates the framework’s usability by introducing a sample rule-based implementation for Cal Poly’s CubeSat, CP3.

Towards Social Intelligence in Autonomous Robotics: A Review
This paper aims to provide grounding for the development of social intelligence in autonomous mobile robots by highlighting that little has been done in developing an explicit social framework for a team of robots engaged in collaborative work. Only recently has work been undertaken on developing social attributes and functionality in robotics [23] [16]. This review provides a somewhat historic...

متن کاملA topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO
Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...
متن کاملAutomatic Planning for Autonomous Spacecrafts Constellations
Autonomous agents are a challenging concept for future unmanned operations. Previous space and aeronautic missions highlight the lack of on-board intelligence to increase the decision making capability and to efficiently react to unexpected situation or events. Many agent-based. system approaches exhibit good properties, as demonstrated in flight during the Deep Space! mission. This paper prese...
