| Abstract |
This research task continues and consolidates a previous "Work Systems Modeling" task and "Mobile Agents" extravehicular activity (EVA) task, both of which used Brahms' simulation and runtime capabilities. It also includes a Biovest component for crew biosensor data, RIALIST for voice commanding, and MEX for wireless communications and computing. Investigators will further develop an agent-based coordination system for planning, simulating, and supporting planetary/lunar surface explorations with mixed human-robotic systems. This agent architecture and collaborative engineering methodology apply to any workflow system with human roles, computer systems, and mixed-media devices (e.g., cameras, email, biosensors, GPS locators, and headsets). The extensions -- in field-test distance, duration, and capability -- will include integration of scientific databases, location names, collected samples, routes, and science team interactions into the planning for subsequent days. The architecture will allow automated agents to negotiate their beliefs and actions whenever conflicts arise. This will be of greatest use for space operations involving a few people interacting with many systems (as on the International Space Station), or for time-delayed, remote operations. |
