TL;DR: In the first year of the AAAI Robot Challenge, five research institutions representing academia, industry, and government integrated their research into a single robot named GRACE as discussed by the authors, which was used to solve as much of the challenge as possible.

TL;DR: This article describes this first-year effort by the GRACE team, including not only the various techniques each participant brought to GRACE but also the difficult integration effort itself.

TL;DR: In this paper, a loosely coordinated human-software agent interaction model is proposed to support multiple humans interacting with multiple automated control agents in such a manner and evaluated with a group consisting of the crew of a space-based vehicle and the automated software agents controlling the vehicle systems.

TL;DR: A set of tools that allows a developer to instrument a C/C++ program to log data at run-time and then analyze that data to verify correct behavior and are currently being tested on data from real NASA applications.

TL;DR: This paper has developed robot performance monitoring software for use during robotic reconnaissance operations that measures robot performance by monitoring robot data in real-time and computing robot performance metrics from that data.
