Abstract:This work presents the design and prototyping of a protocol-aware and cognitively enhanced Robot agent. A set of protocols have been defined which support autonomous robot team mission activity. These include a Team Work Effort protocol and ancillary protocols which support situation awareness and assist the robot team in flexibly executing the mission. The Robot agents are engaged in a simulated Lunar-based Scientific Sampling Mission. We utilize the Distributed Control Framework (DCF) robotics software as th… Show more
