Remote Agent: to boldly go where no AI system has gone before
TL;DR: The Remote Agent is described, a specific autonomous agent architecture based on the principles of model-based programming, on-board deduction and search, and goal-directed closed-loop commanding, that takes a significant step toward enabling this future of space exploration.
Proceedings Article
A model-based approach to reactive self-configuring systems
TL;DR: Livingstone provides a reactive system that performs significant deduction in the sense/response loop by drawing on past experience at building fast propositional conflict-based algorithms for model-based diagnosis, and by framing a model- based configuration manager as a propositional feedback controller that generates focused, optimal responses.
Proceedings Article
A reactive planner for a model-based executive
TL;DR: Burton is a sound, complete, reactive planner that generates a single control action of a valid plan in average case constant time, and compensates for anomalies at every step, and is presented as a core element that bridges the gap between current and target states within the reactive loop.

TL;DR: The experiment integrates several spacecraft autonomy technologies developed at NASA Ames and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory: on-board planning, a robust multi threaded executive, and model-based failure diagnosis and recovery.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An autonomous spacecraft agent prototype
Barney Pell,Douglas Bernard,Steve Chien,Erann Gat,Nicola Muscettola,P. Pandurang Nayak,Michael D. Wagner,Brian C. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: The New Millennium Remote Agent architecture supports challenging requirements of the autonomous spacecraft domain not usually addressed in mobile robot architectures, including highly reliable autonomous operations over extended time periods in the presence of tight resource constraints, hard deadlines, limited observability, and concurrent activity.
