Artificial Intelligence for Space Station Automation: Crew Safety, Productivity, Autonomy, Augumented Capability

Artificial intelligence (AI) RandD projects for the successful and efficient operation of the Space Station are described. The book explores the most advanced AI-based technologies, reviews the results of concept design studies to determine required AI capabilities, details demonstrations that would indicate the existence of these capabilities, and develops an RandD plan leading to such demonstrations. Particular attention is given to teleoperation and robotics, sensors, expert systems, computers, planning, and man-machine interface. 293 references.
