Planning and Execution for Rover Missions

Abstract

The increased number of planetary science missions requires more capable on-board software. Not only must individual modules be more robust, but there also must be a substantial increase in the ability to coordinate these modules, and increased reusability for future missions. Agents within the control system will all use the same execution machinery, both semantics and implementation, with a single communication protocol. This architecture, called Intelligent Distributed Execution Architecture (IDEA), reduces the gap between traditional real-time control software and high-level, search-based autonomy, thereby simplifying design, integration, and validation of model-based autonomous explorers.

Dra. Maria Dolores Rodriguez-Moreno received an European PhD in Computer Sciences in 2004 by the Universidad de Alcala. Her research interests are in the area of Planning, Scheduling, Monitoring and Execution applied to real domains as satellites, workflow or e-Learning. She perfomed her predoctoral research at British Telecom Adastral Park in Ipswich (UK) and CNR in Rome (Italy). Since November 2005, she has been doing postdoctoral research at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA (USA).
