ASTRONAUT ROBOT MISSION SIMULATOR
Presenter Corey Casado: Undergraduate Computer Science Major, Japanese MinorMentors Winslow Burleson: Assistant Professor of Human Computer Interaction, School of Computing and Informatics/ Arts, Media, and Engineering program Uday Kumar Bandaru: Masters Student in Electrical Engineering and Arts, Media and Engineering
Problem• Allow astronauts to take pre-mission
simulations with them on the mission.• Obtaining a best case solution to a given
scenario efficiently and quickly through the simulator.
• Exposing students to the types of scenarios that astronauts would be exposed to (Without sending them all to cape Canaveral).
ObjectivesImprove extraterrestrial exploration by
Implementing a 3D space simulator that… allows astronauts to run realistic
simulations of their mission allows astronauts to input scenarios into a
simulator during the mission. have the simulator derive the best course
of action from the given scenario.
Methods: Delta3D•Open Source 3D graphics simulator•Originally designed for Military grade training simulations•Contains:
• OpenSceneGraph• OpenDynamicsEn
gine• Cal3D• OpenAL
Results Used to Create Hybrid- Digital Physical
system for geological exploration. Used to optimize critical missions
parameters through real time geographical simulation and mission dynamics.
Physics engine integrated for better simulations in geological surfaces.
Significance and Use Significance: By allowing software to
derive the best course of action the Astronaut can focus on other more pertinent information.
Use: Can be used by astronauts prior to and during the actual mission. Could also be used in classrooms for educational purposes
Advantages over previous versions Delta 3D gives the flexibility to add AI to
the bots Adds Physics engine for better
kinematics and physics simulation Adds environment (dusty/cloudy/rainy) Delta3d maintained by NPS.
