It is our aim by launching a series of workshops on the topic of highly autonomous systems to reach out to the larger community interested in technology development for remotely deployed systems, particularly those for exploration.
Future space programs place a variety of needs on storage technologies.
This oral presentation discusses career options in a changing work environment, and the curriculum that makes a difference.
The development of autonomous spacecraft from 1960 to the present is traced within a framework of the definitions and measures of the level of autonomy. The attainment of milestones in the level of autonomy in spacecraft guidance and control is described in terms of the Mariner, Viking, Voyager, Galileo and Mark II (under development) spacecraft. The constant interplay between the definition of scientific mission goals and available technological capabilities is explored, along with current efforts to implement AI techniques and advanced software in spacecraft to allow reliable functioning in stressful conditions.
