Goal-Driven Autonomy and Robust Architecture for Long-Duration Missions
نویسنده
چکیده
During the most recent period of performance, the team has refined the major implemented functions of our MIDCA architecture at the cognitive level (Cox, 2013; Paisner, Cox, Maynord, & Perlis, 2014) and has started work on an analogous metacognitive cycle at the meta-level (Dannenhauer, Cox, Gupta, Paisner & Perlis, 2014; Perlis & Cox, 2014). We produced substantial progress on the knowledge-rich track of the Note-Assess-Guide interpretation procedure. Additionally we started an integration of MIDCA and the T-REX planning and scheduling system. This work explores the use of meta-level control for vehicle planning and behavior execution in dynamic environments. The initial data are encouraging and the path forward is favorable.

The Roles of Machine Learning in Robust Autonomous Systems
Robust autonomous systems will need to be adaptable to changes in the environment and changes in the underlying physical system. This is especially critical for long-duration missions. For example, autonomous robots that explore other planets for years will need to adapt to degradation in their capabilities and to unforeseen environmental factors. Another NASA domain requiring robust, adaptable...
متن کاملSupporting Increased Autonomy for a Mars Rover
This paper presents an architecture and set of technology for supporting increased autonomy for a planetary rover. The MER rovers have outperformed all expectations by lasting over 1300 sols (or Martian days), which is an order of magnitude longer than their original mission goal. The longevity of these vehicles will have significant effects on future rover missions. Common objectives for futur...
متن کاملOn Neuromorphic Architectures for Efficient, Robust and Adaptable Autonomy in Life Detection and Other Deep Space Missions
Plumes from Enceladus may host high molecular weight organic materials. An orbital plume sampling mission to Enceladus would require fine orbit and attitude control to compensate for the instability of the polar orbit, if low relative velocities are required in order to preserve biomarkers of interest. On Neuromorphic Architectures for Efficient, Robust and Adaptable Autonomy in Life Detection ...
متن کاملHDRC3: A Distributed Hybrid Deliberative/Reactive Architecture for Unmanned Aircraft Systems
This chapter presents a distributed architecture for unmanned aircraft systems that provides full integration of both low autonomy and high autonomy. The architecture has been instantiated and used in a rotorbased aerial vehicle, but is not limited to use in particular aircraft systems. Various generic functionalities essential to the integration of both low autonomy and high autonomy in a sing...
متن کاملAutonomous Auv Mission Planning and Replanning - towards True Autonomy
This paper discusses concepts developed under the SEA led UK MoD Battlespace Access Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (BAUUV) programme to provide higher levels of military AUV autonomy. BAUUV aims to identify and assess the technology readiness relating to a range of future (2010-2015) UK military missions and to perform focussed technology development activities to address key technology gaps. One ...
