In this talk, Dr. Quadrelli will emphasize the need for adaptivity in four key categories of distributed autonomous systems for space exploration (Multiple, Multi-physics, ission-level, Multi-scale). One category has to do with adaptivity and system reconfigurations in robotic exploration of extreme environments with multiple assets. Another category deals with adaptivity by exploiting the material multi-physics interactions in the physical implementation for robotic manipulation tasks. Another category deals with mission-level adaptivity, and the best example of this is a complex space system interacting with the atmosphere until it lands autonomously on the surface. Finally, the last category deals with multi-scale system adaptivity that enables space science, through an innovative re-thinking of the way space science missions are done today.
