Abstract:

Recent developments in Distributed Satellite Systems (DSS) have undoubtedly increased mission value due to the ability to reconfigure the spacecraft cluster/formation and incrementally add new or update older satellites in the formation. These features provide inherent benefits, such as increased mission effectiveness, multi-mission capabilities, design flexibility, and so on. Trusted Autonomous Satellite Operation (TASO) are possible owing to the predictive and reactive integrity features offered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), including both on-board satellites and in the ground control segments. To effectively monitor and manage time-critical events such as disaster relief missions, the DSS must be able to reconfigure autonomously. To achieve TASO, the DSS should have reconfiguration capability within the architecture and spacecraft should communicate with each other through an Inter-Satellite Link (ISL). Recent advances in AI, sensing, and computing technologies have resulted in the development of new promising concepts for the safe and efficient operation of the DSS. The combination of these technologies enables trusted autonomy in intelligent DSS (iDSS) operations, allowing for a more responsive and resilient approach to Space Mission Management (SMM) in terms of data collection and processing, especially when using state-of-the-art optical sensors. This research looks into the potential applications of iDSS by proposing a constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for near-real-time wildfire management. For spacecraft to continuously monitor Areas of Interest (AOI) in a dynamically changing environment, satellite missions must have extensive coverage, revisit intervals, and reconfiguration capability that iDSS can offer. Our recent work demonstrated the feasibility of AI-based data processing using state-of-the-art on-board astrionics hardware accelerators. Based on these initial results, AI-based software has been successively developed for wildfire detection on-board iDSS satellites. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed iDSS architecture, simulation case studies are performed considering different geographic locations.

Abstract:

High-speed radio link HSRL is designed to transmit target information from spacecraft equipment to the ground. A block of onboard equipment for storing temporary data OESTD is a part of the onboard equipment of a high-speed radio link OEHSRL. Before the spacecraft is launched into space, acceptance tests of the input control are carried out. To do this, it was necessary to develop testing equipment TE and software for it. TE of OESTD is designed to check the OESTD in general and each block in particular during autonomous tests. This paper considers the subsystem of technological software - a component of the TE software system, which allows checking the operation of the FPGA as part of the OESTD. The subsystem main algorithms and functions performed by the subsystem are given. The interaction of the operator of control and testing equipment with programmable logic integrated circuits FPGA, which are part of the on-board equipment block for storing temporary data of the OESTD, is considered. Debugging software is required to enable this interaction. An FPGA with the RISC-V architecture was chosen, debugging via GRMON turned out to be impossible and OpenOCD was chosen. As a result, a technological software module was developed for testing and ensuring the operability of the FPGA as part of the onboard equipment for storing temporary data. The following components were developed: a subsystem for interaction with the device to ensure the ability to send commands and receive response messages, service functions to convert response messages into a readable form for the operator, a subsystem for interaction of the module with the main frame of the TE software, and widgets to provide the ability to manually enter commands from the user conveniently.

Abstract:

While it is risky considering spacecraft constraints and unknown environment on asteroid, surface sampling is an important technique for asteroid exploration. One of the sample return missions is to seek an optimal landing site, which may be in hazardous terrain. Since autonomous landing is particularly challenging, it is necessary to simulate the effectiveness of this process and prove the onboard optical hazard avoidance is robust to various uncertainties. This paper aims to generate realistic surface images of asteroids for simulations of asteroid exploration. A SinGAN-based method is proposed, which only needs a single input image for training a pyramid of multi-scale patch generators. Various images with high fidelity can be generated, and manipulations such as shape variation, illumination direction variation, super resolution generation are well achieved. The method's applicability is validated by extensive experimental results and evaluations. At last, the proposed method has been used to help set up a test environment for landing site selection simulation.

Abstract:

Future missions of deep-space exploration face the challenge of building more capable autonomous spacecraft and planetary rovers. Given the communication latencies and bandwidth limitations for such missions, the need for increased autonomy becomes mandatory, along with the requirement for enhanced on-board computational capabilities while in deep-space or time-critical situations. This will result in dramatic changes in the way missions are conducted and supported by on-board computing systems. Specifically, the traditional approach of relying exclusively on radiation-hardened hardware and modular redundancy will not be able to deliver the required computational power. As a consequence, such systems are expected to include high-capability low-power components based on emerging commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multi-core technology. In this paper we describe the design of a generic framework for introspection that supports runtime monitoring and analysis of program execution as well as a feedback-oriented recovery from faults. Our focus is on providing flexible software fault tolerance matched to the requirements and properties of applications by exploiting knowledge that is either contained in an application knowledge base, provided by users, or automatically derived from specifications. A prototype implementation is currently in progress at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, targeting a cluster of cell broadband engines.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper, a “Q & A interview” conducted by Joanne Pransky of Industrial Robot Journal, aims to impart the combined technological, business and personal experience of a prominent, robotic industry engineer-turned entrepreneur regarding the evolution, commercialization and challenges of bringing a technological invention to market. Design/methodology/approach – The interviewee is Dr Robert Ambrose, Chief, Software, Robotics and Simulation Division at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. As a young child, even before he started school, Dr Ambrose knew, after seeing the Apollo 11 moonshot, that he wanted to work for NASA. Dr Ambrose describes his career journey into space robotics and shares his teams’ experiences and the importance of the development of Robonaut, a humanoid robotic project designed to work with humans both on Earth and in space. Findings – Dr Ambrose received his MS and BS degrees in mechanical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, and his PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr Ambrose heads the flight spacecraft software, space robotics and system simulations for human spaceflight missions. He oversees on-orbit robotic systems for the International Space Station (ISS), the development of software for the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and future human spaceflight systems, simulations for engineering development and training, hardware in the loop facilities for anomaly resolution and crew training and the technology branch for development of new robotic systems. Dr Ambrose also serves as a Principal Investigator for NASA’s Space Technologies Mission Directorate, overseeing research and formulating new starts in the domains of robotics and autonomous systems. He co-chairs the Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) Robotics, Tele-Robotics and Autonomous Systems roadmap team for the agency’s technology program, and is the robotics lead for the agency’s human spaceflight architecture study teams. Working with the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), Dr Ambrose is the Technical Point of Contact for NASA’s collaboration in the National Robotics Initiative (NRI). Originality/value – Dr Ambrose not only realized his own childhood dream by pursuing a career at NASA, but he also fulfilled a 15-year national dream by putting the first humanoid robot into space. After seeking a graduate university that would allow him to do research at NASA, it didn’t take long for Dr Ambrose to foresee that the importance of NASA’s future would be in robots and humans working side-by-side. Through the leadership of Dr Ambrose, NASA formed a strategic partnership with General Motors (GM) and together they built Robonaut, a highly dexterous, anthropomorphic robot. The latest Robonaut version, R2, has nearly 50 patents available for licensing. One of the many technology spinoffs from R2 is the innovative Human Grasp Assist device, or Robo-Glove, designed to increase the strength of a human’s grasp.

Abstract:

Spacecraft need to be able to reliably slew quickly and rather than simply commanding a final angle, a trajectory calculated and known throughout a maneuver is preferred. A fully solved trajectory allows for control based off comparing current attitude to a time varying desired attitude, allowing for much better use of control effort and command over slew orientation. This manuscript introduces slew trajectories using sinusoidal functions compared to optimal trajectories using Pontryagin’s method. Use of Pontryagin’s method yields approximately 1.5% lower control effort compared to sinusoidal trajectories. Analysis of the simulated system response demonstrates that correct understanding of the effect of cross-coupling is necessary to avoid unwarranted control costs. Additionally, a combination of feedforward with proportional derivative control generates a system response with 3% reduction in control cost compared to a Feedforward with proportional integral derivative control architecture. Use of a calculated trajectory is shown to reduce control cost by five orders of magnitude and allows for raising of gains by an order of magnitude. When control gains are raised, an eight orders of magnitude lower error is achieved in the slew direction, and rather than an increase in control cost, a decrease by 11.7% is observed. This manuscript concludes that Pontryagin’s method for generating slew trajectories outperforms the use of sinusoidal trajectories and trajectory generation schemes are essential for efficient spacecraft maneuvering.

Abstract:

Autonomous spacecraft operations are at the front end of modern research interests, because they enable space missions that would not be viable only with ground control. The possibility to exploit onboard autonomy to deal with platform management and nominal housekeeping is thus beneficial to realize complex space missions, which could then rely on ground support only for the mission-critical phases. One routine operation that most spacecraft must perform is stored angular momentum management to maintain fully usable momentum exchange actuators. The execution of this activity may be scheduled, commanded from the ground, or automatically triggered when certain thresholds are reached. However, autonomous angular momentum management may interfere with other primary spacecraft operations if executed with a dedicated and separate system mode. This paper presents the magnetic management of stored angular momentum, integrated with the main attitude control system. The system design and implementation are intended for autonomous spacecraft, and it can be operated without significant ground support. The paper describes the system architecture and the attitude control laws integrated with the magnetic angular momentum management. Specifically, the capability of the autonomous system to keep the internal angular momentum far from the saturation and far from the zero-crossing levels is highlighted. The performance of an example attitude control system with four reaction wheels and three magnetic torquers is presented and discussed, with the simulation results at model-in-the-loop (MIL) level.

Abstract:

Over the past four decades, space debris has been identified as a growing hazard for near-Earth space systems. With limited access to space debris tracking databases and only recent policy advancements made to secure a sustainable space environment and mission architecture, this manuscript aims to establish an autonomous trajectory maneuver to de-orbit spacecrafts back to Earth using collision avoidance techniques for the purpose of decommissioning or re-purposing spacecrafts. To mitigate the risk of colliding with another object, the spacecraft attitude slew maneuver requires high levels of precision. Thus, the manuscript compares two autonomous trajectory generations, sinusoidal and Pontragin’s method. In order to determine the Euler angles (roll, pitch, and yaw) necessary for the spacecraft to safely maneuver around space debris, the manuscript incorporates way-point guidance as a collision avoidance approach. When the simulation compiled with both sinusoidal and Pontryagin trajectories, there were differences within the Euler angle spacecraft tracking that could be attributed to the increased fuel efficiency by over five orders of magnitude and lower computation time by over 15 min for that of Pontryagin’s trajectory compared with that of the sinusoidal trajectory. Overall, Pontryagin’s method produced an autonomous trajectory that is more optimal by conserving 37.9% more fuel and saving 40.5% more time than the sinusoidal autonomous trajectory.

Abstract:

Abstract With the rapid growth of the number of spacecraft tasks and the complexity of the system, spacecraft software development is faced with the challenges of high-quality and rapid delivery, increased complexity, and frequent changes in requirements. The reuse rate of software assets needs to be improved urgently. In order to realize cross-platform and cross-project reuse of software design, this paper studies the design of electric propulsion software architecture. Carry out requirements decomposition and subsystem division of electric propulsion systems for different platforms, extract common requirements and variability requirements at the system level and subsystem level based on the Feature-Oriented Domain Analysis method, and establish a requirements model. Based on the requirements model, an electric propulsion software architecture integrating “event-driven + components” is proposed, and the classic event-driven model of “publish-subscribe” is adaptively improved. The architecture has been instantiated and applied to 16 projects on 4 platforms, and the reuse rate of core assets has reached 70%. This paper has certain guidance and reference significance for spacecraft software asset reuse and platform construction.

Abstract:

Autonomous underwater vehicles are vehicles that are entirely or partly independent of human decisions. In order to obtain operational independence, the vehicles have to be equipped with a specialized software. The main task of the software is to move the vehicle along a trajectory with collision avoidance. Moreover, the software has also to manage different devices installed on the vehicle board, e.g. to start and stop cameras, sonars etc. In addition to the software embedded on the vehicle board, the software responsible for managing the vehicle on the operator level is also necessary. Its task is to define mission of the vehicle, to start, stop the mission, to send emergency commands, to monitor vehicle parameters, and to control the vehicle in remotely operated mode.The paper presents architecture of the software designed for biomimetic autonomous underwater vehicle (BAUV) that is being constructed within the framework of the scientific project financed by Polish National Center of Research and Development.

Abstract:

As space agencies are currently looking at Near Earth Asteroids as a next step on their exploration roadmap, high precision autonomous landing control schemes will be required for upcoming missions. In this paper, an intelligent simulator is proposed to reproduce all of the visual and dynamic aspects required to test an autonomous Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system. The proposed simulator provides position and attitude information to a spacecraft during its approach descent and Landing phase toward the surface of an asteroid or other small celestial bodies. Because the SLAM system makes use of navigation cameras and a range sensor moving with the spacecraft as it approaches the surface, the simulator is also developed to reproduce a fully integrated 3D environment using computer graphics technology that mimics the noise, image detail and real-time performances of the navigation cameras and the range sensors. This paper describes the architecture and capability of the developed simulator and the SLAM system for which it is designed. The developed simulator is evaluated by using the specifications of the onboard sensors used in the Hayabusa spacecraft sent by JAXA/ISAS to the Itokawa asteroid in 2003.

Abstract:

Abstract The solar array is a key part of spacecraft, which is the main power supply. With the trend of spacecraft bus development, the size of the solar array panel attached to the spacecraft becomes larger and larger to provide more load power. Large scale, low stiffness, and flexibility affect the attitude control of the spacecraft directly. Monitoring and analyzing the solar array dynamics behavior will be the key part of the overall design of the spacecraft’s control system. The purpose of monitoring is to verify the dynamic modeling and health diagnosis for a typical spacecraft flexible solar array. In this paper, Fiber Bragg Grating transducers (FBGs) and PXI-E Bus technology are used to perform online monitoring of 3D shapes through the strain profile. Using NI DAQ hardware and the FPGA Module to implement a DAQ system that can real-time and accurately perform online analysis and secondary processing of parameters from a system using NI LabVIEW software and RTOS to provide a complete, systematic solution to acquire data from FBGs. In this paper, the design of system architecture is described.

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a framework and the software architecture for the deployment of multiple autonomous robots in an unstructured and unknown environment, with applications ranging from scouting and reconnaissance, to search and rescue, to manipulation tasks, to cooperative localization and mapping, and formation control. Our software framework allows a modular and hierarchical approach to programming deliberative and reactive behaviors in autonomous operation. Formal definitions for sequential composition, hierarchical composition, and parallel composition allow the bottom-up development of complex software systems. We demonstrate the algorithms and software on an experimental testbed that involves a group of carlike robots, each using a single omnidirectional camera as a sensor without explicit use of odometry.

Abstract:

Problem statement: Currently, there is a need in the space industry to actively improve the characteristics of battery batteries, the use of new types of batteries for power supply systems of spacecraft leads to a constant demand to improve the control and verification equipment (CPA). Depending on the improvement of storage batteries (AB) for spacecraft, the requirements for electrical inspections and control and verificationequipment were gradually changed. With the advent of lithium-ion batteries for spacecraft, there was a need to develop and manufacture a charge-discharge hardware and software complex (ZRPAK). The charge-discharge hardware-software complex designed to work as a charger-bit complex to work with AB spacecraft for all ground operation phases, to verify compliance of the electrical characteristics of the AB to the specified requirements, conduct incoming inspection and Autonomous tests of AB on the manufacturer of the spacecraft. The advantages and disadvantages of the previously developed and currently used control and verification equipment are analyzed. The electrical characteristics of the KPA of all generations of development are summarized in the table. Based on the analysis of the development of batteries, trends in the development of control and verification equipment and the fact that all spacecraft of new developments will use only lithium-ion batteries, the requirements for a promising fifth-generation ZRPAK are formulated. The following requirements are applied to the fifth-generation charge-discharge software and hardware complex: increase the charge-discharge voltage to 150 V; increase the charge -discharge current to 150 A; introduce devices for pre-charge-pre-discharge of the battery into the KPA; increase the accuracy of measuring the voltage of each battery; provide remote operation from the control PC; writing cyclograms; logging and subsequent viewing of all test data

Abstract:

The stratospheric airship, with long-endurance and quasi-static capability, is suitable to carry out special mission such as communications relay, hot spots monitoring, etc. In order to improve the safety performance of the stratospheric airship and keep the robustness of mission, health management (HM) system is introduced, the foundation of which is the logic architecture. Based on the analysis of three options about the logic architecture used in spacecraft, hierarchical fusion architecture is selected, the functional modules in which are designed in detail. To solve urgent faults, moreover, the autonomous intelligent control system (AICS) is introduced. Meanwhile, monitoring mission is taken as an example to discuss the mission health management strategy based on laser communication.

Abstract:

To support robust plan execution of autonomous robots in dynamic environments, autonomous robot software should include adaptive and reactive capabilities to cope with the dynamics and uncertainties of the evolving states of real-world environments. However, conventional software architectures such as sense-model-plan-act and behaviour-based paradigms are inadequate for meeting the requirements. A lack of sensing during acting in the sense-model-plan-act paradigm makes the software slow to react to run-time contingencies, whereas the behaviour-based architectures typically fall short in planning of long-range steps and making optimized plan adaptations. This article proposes a hybrid software architecture that maintains both adaptivity and reactivity of robot behaviours in dynamic environments. To implement this architecture, we further present the multi-agent development framework known as AutoRobot, which views the robot software as a multi-agent system in which diverse agent roles collaborate to achieve software functionalities. To demonstrate the applicability and validity of our concrete framework and software architecture, we conduct an experiment to implement a typical case, for example, a robot that autonomously picks up and drops off dishes for remote guests, which requires the robot to plan and navigate in a highly dynamic environment and can adapt its behaviours to unexpected situations.

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, an innovative hybrid control architecture for real-time control of autonomous robotic vehicles is described as well as its implementation on a commercially available autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). This architecture has two major components, a behavior-based intelligent autonomous controller and an interface to a classical dynamic controller that is responsible for real-time dynamic control of the vehicle given the decisions of the intelligent controller over the decision state space (e.g., vehicle course, speed, and depth). The driving force behind the development of this architecture was a desire to make autonomy software development for underwater vehicles independent from the dynamic control specifics of any given vehicle. The resulting software portability allows significant code reuse and frees autonomy software developers from being tied to a particular vehicle manufacturer’s autonomy software and support as long as the vehicle supports the required interface between the intelligent controller and the dynamic controller. This paper will describe in detail the components of the backseat driver architecture as implemented on the Iver2 underwater vehicle, provide several examples of its use, and discuss the future direction of the architecture.

Abstract:

This paper presents the design and implementation of BAICal (Intelligent Autonomous Buoy by the University of Calabria), an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) developed at the Autonomous Systems Lab (LASA) of the Department of Computer Science, Modeling, Electronics, and Systems Engineering (DIMES), University of Calabria. The basic project was born as a research program in marine robotics with multiple applications, either in the sea or in lake/river environments, for data monitoring, search and rescue operations and diver support tasks. Mechanical and hardware designs are discussed by considering a three-degree-of-freedom (3DoF) dynamical model of the vehicle. An extension to the typical guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) software architecture is presented. The software design and the implementation of a manager module (M-GNC architecture) that allows the vehicle to autonomously coordinate missions are described. Indeed, autonomous guidance and movement are only one of several more complex tasks that mobile robots have to perform in a real scenario and that allow a long-term life cycle. Module-based software architecture is developed by using the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework that is suitable for different kinds of autonomous vehicles, such as aerial, ground, surface or underwater drones.

Abstract:

The article discusses potential use of proposed by the authors configuration of onboard system of autonomous navigation and movement control of space debris collector to operate at GSO. The relevance of this research is that the problem of space debris is acute because of a large number of spent spacecraft that may damage other equipment. The purpose of the article is to analyses the launch of the work of navigation system for autonomous space debris collector. The solution of this problem is possible by applying the previously created the semi-natural modelling stands and simulation mathematical models implemented in software. The modelling results showed that during the formation of scenarios for the work of the debris collector at GSO, there was a significant number of time intervals during the year, when favorable conditions for receiving satellite signals remained at a given target longitude of GSO and, as a result, performed a high-precision solution for the navigation task.

Abstract:

Aiming at the characters and requirements of spacecraft design, simulation and test, The test-bed framework was studied in this paper. The framework architecture employ the Data Distribute Service (DDS) to provide communications abstractions and reduce software interface complexity. The time management strategy was studied to keep synchronic of all components. The CAN bus interface was designed to integrate the CAN bus components. The framework will allow rapid-prototyping of high-fidelity simulations of spacecraft during their early project phases, and help reduce the effort, time and expanse to evaluate the performance.

Abstract:

Advances in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have led to an exponential increase in their market, thanks to the development of innovative technological solutions aimed at a wide range of applications and services, such as emergencies and those related to fires. In addition, the expansion of this market has been accompanied by the birth and growth of the so-called UAV swarms. Currently, the expansion of these systems is due to their properties in terms of robustness, versatility, and efficiency. Along with these properties there is an aspect, which is still a field of study, such as autonomous and cooperative navigation of these swarms. In this paper we present an architecture that includes a set of complementary methods that allow the establishment of different control layers to enable the autonomous and cooperative navigation of a swarm of UAVs. Among the different layers, there are a global trajectory planner based on sampling, algorithms for obstacle detection and avoidance, and methods for autonomous decision making based on deep reinforcement learning. The paper shows satisfactory results for a line-of-sight based algorithm for global path planner trajectory smoothing in 2D and 3D. In addition, a novel method for autonomous navigation of UAVs based on deep reinforcement learning is shown, which has been tested in 2 different simulation environments with promising results about the use of these techniques to achieve autonomous navigation of UAVs.
