Man's role in a remote orbital servicing systemThe Remote Orbital Servicing System (ROSS), a focal point for NASA research in automation and robotics, is discussed in terms of the role of man in such a system. In the supervisory control mode, the ROSS operator inputs high-level goals to a strategic (nonreal-time) planner which then passes the plan or series of actions to a tactical (real-time) planner which executes the plan. Using directed control, man makes more specific commands to perform strategic planning with or without the use of the automated strategic planner. Shared computer/manual control will require a multifunction interactive display. At the teleoperator control level, a hand controller is used to command the ROSS manipulator and end effectors.
