Abstract:

DURING THE SUMMER OF 1980 eighteen educators from throughout the United States worked with fifteen NASA programme engineers to examine the ways in which advanced automation, including artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, might be used in space missions in the next 25-50 years. The study was supported by NASA because of an increasing realisation that advanced automatic and robotic devices will play a major role in future missions of space exploration and utilisation, and may provide enormously beneficial capabilities at affordable cost.
