Enabling Astronaut Self-Scheduling using a Robust Advanced Modelling and Scheduling system: an assessment during a Mars analogue mission
Michael Saint-Guillain, Jean Vanderdonckt, Nicolas Burny +14
Human long duration exploration missions (LDEMs) raise a number of technological challenges. This paper addresses the question of the crew autonomy: as the distances increase, the…
ACHORD: Communication-Aware Multi-Robot Coordination with Intermittent Connectivity
Maira Saboia, Lillian Clark, Vivek Thangavelu +16
Communication is an important capability for multi-robot exploration because (1) inter-robot communication (comms) improves coverage efficiency and (2) robot-to-base comms improves…
PropEM-L: Radio Propagation Environment Modeling and Learning for Communication-Aware Multi-Robot Exploration
Lillian Clark, Jeffrey A. Edlund, Marc Sanchez Net +2
Multi-robot exploration of complex, unknown environments benefits from the collaboration and cooperation offered by inter-robot communication. Accurate radio signal strength predic…
Copiloting Autonomous Multi-Robot Missions: A Game-inspired Supervisory Control Interface
Marcel Kaufmann, Robert Trybula, Ryan Stonebraker +6
Real-world deployment of new technology and capabilities can be daunting. The recent DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge, for instance, aimed at the advancement of robotic platform…
Multi-Robot On-site Shared Analytics Information and Computing
Joshua Vander Hook, Federico Rossi, Tiago Vaquero +5
Computation load-sharing across a network of heterogeneous robots is a promising approach to increase robots capabilities and efficiency as a team in extreme environments. However,…
Operations for Autonomous Spacecraft
Rebecca Castano, Tiago Vaquero, Federico Rossi +20
Onboard autonomy technologies such as planning and scheduling, identification of scientific targets, and content-based data summarization, will lead to exciting new space science m…
NeBula: Quest for Robotic Autonomy in Challenging Environments; TEAM CoSTAR at the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +69
This paper presents and discusses algorithms, hardware, and software architecture developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), competing in the DARP…
The Pluggable Distributed Resource Allocator (PDRA): a Middleware for Distributed Computing in Mobile Robotic Networks
Federico Rossi, Tiago Stegun Vaquero, Marc Sanchez Net +2
We present the Pluggable Distributed Resource Allocator (PDRA), a middleware for distributed computing in heterogeneous mobile robotic networks. PDRA enables autonomous robotic age…
