Abstract

Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is working on developing new kinds of robotic structures capable of: goal-oriented motion, changing its form to optimize its function, adapting to new environmental demands, and/or repairing itself. A series of increasingly complex roving shapes leading up to the tetrahedron were considered. This paper addresses this innovative use of multi agent system technology that is being used to achieve the desired autonomous behaviors.
