Reconfigurability Analysis Method for Spacecraft Autonomous Control

Deductive Executive For Autonomous Spacecraft �

The New Millennium Remote Agent NMRA will be the rst AI system to control an actual spacecraft The space craft domain places a strong premium on autonomy and requires dynamic recoveries and robust concurrent execu tion all in the presence of tight real time deadlines changing goals scarce resource constraints and a wide variety of pos sible failures To achieve this level of execution robustness...

Plan Execution for Autonomous Spacecraft

The New Millennium Remote Agent (NMRA) vSll be the first AI system to control an actual spacecraft. The spacecraft domain raises a number of challenges for planning and execution, ranging from extended agency and long-term planning to dynamic recoveries and robust concurrent execution, all in the presence of tight real-time deadlines, changing goals, scarce resource constraints, and a v-ide var...

Distributed Agents for Autonomous Spacecraft

Space missions have evolved considerably in the last fifty years in both complexity and ambition. In order to enable this continued improvement in the scientific and commercial return of space missions new control systems are needed that can manage complex combinations of state of the art hardware with a minimum of human interaction. Distributed multi-agent systems are one approach to controlli...

Reconfigurability Analysis for Reliable Fault-Tolerant Control Design

In this paper the integration of reliability evaluation in reconfigurability analysis of a fault-tolerant control system is considered. The aim of this work is to contribute to reliable fault-tolerant control design. The admissibility of control reconfigurability is analyzed with respect to reliability requirements. This analysis shows the relationship between reliability and control reconfigur...
