The Robotic Operations & Tools group seeks to lead the design and engineering software tools for operating autonomous robotic systems . This includes:
- Design and creation of flight software and ground software to enhance operability of robots.
- Software infrastructure design and implementation for mission operations.
- Flight-software-in-the-loop simulation of robot behaviors.
- Human-in-the-loop software system to validate and verify command sequences.
- 3D visualization and command sequence automation tools in verification and validation, traceability, and documentation for operating space robotic systems.
Additional details including information about our RSVP (Robot Sequencing and Visualization Platform) tool suite can be found here.
Some of our work is open source:
- Hermes: A lightweight extensible spacecraft commanding and telemetry processing framework.
- Honeycomb: A 3D visualization framework built for robotics.
- SpaceWasm: A flight-compliant WebAssembly interpreter for safe and portable execution of software onboard spacecraft.
