Intelligent Systems: Shaping the Future of Aeronautics and Space Exploration

Intelligent systems are nature-inspired, mathematically sound, computationally intensive problem solving tools and methodologies that have become important for NASA’s future roles in Aeronautics and Space Exploration. Intelligent systems will enable safe, cost and mission-effective approaches to aircraft control, system design, spacecraft autonomy, robotic space exploration, and human exploration of Moon, Mars, and beyond. In this talk, we will discuss intelligent system technologies and expand on the role of intelligent systems in NASA’s missions. We will also present several examples of which some are highlighted in this extended abstract.
