IRG has developed software to automatically generate high-quality topographic and albedo models from satellite images. Our software uses multi-view geometry and photoclinometric techniques to produce 3D models with very high accuracy and resolution. ASP is an open source C++ framework for deriving, manipulating, and sythesizing terrain and shape data products. ASP has been used to create 3D terrain models for landing sites on Mars, topography on icy satellites and Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) in the outer solar system, as well as glaciers, mountains, and volcanoes here on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Exploration Ground Data System (xGDS)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Leads<\/strong>: Tamar Cohen and Matt Deans<br> IRG\u2019s Exploration Ground Data System (xGDS) provides software tools to plan robot activities, monitor task execution, log robot telemetry, archive science data, and visualize a wide range of information.The xGDS makes use of the NASA Ensemble framework, Web interfaces and geospatial data browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extreme Perception<\/strong><br> NASA\u2019s future robotic exploration targets include spike-covered icy surfaces on Jupiter\u2019s moon Europa, liquid methan lakes on Saturn\u2019s moon Titan, and other environments that exist at the limits of imagination. IRG is developing novel sensors and a perception capability to enable robots to see in these extreme environments. Our approach blends elements of computer vision, optics, and physics-based simulation to understand planetary environments and target effective sensing modalities. We are also developing advanced decision-making and in-situ processing techniques to optimize information collected from our approaches. Technologies innovated by IRG include thermal vision-based navigation for landing on icy surfaces, cold-gas projectiles that map in ballistic flight and form monitoring networks once emplaced, and programmable microscopes that model individual grains of soil in 3D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrated System for Autonomous and Adaptive Caretaking (ISAAC)<\/strong><br> ISAAC uses both Astrobee robot free-flyers and the Robonaut 2 humanoid robot on the International Space Station to develop autonomous caretaking capabilities that will enable safe and reliable operation of future human spacecraft, such as the planned Lunar-orbiting Gateway, especially during extended periods when astronauts are not present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ocean Worlds Autonomy Testbed for Exploration Research and Simulation (OceanWATERS)<\/strong><br> OceanWATERS is an open source simulator for developing onboard autonomy software for the robotic exploration of ocean worlds, such as Jupiter\u2019s moon Europa, and Saturn\u2019s moons Enceladus and Titan.
