CISRU: a robotics software suite to enable complex rover-rover and astronaut-rover interaction

Abstract: The CISRU project has focused on the development of a software suite for planetary (and terrestrial) robotics, fully abstracted from the robotic platform and enabling interaction between rovers and astronauts in complex tasks and non-structured scenarios. To achieve this, a high level of autonomy is required, powered by AI and multi-agent autonomous planning systems inherited from ERGO/ADE and the PERASPERA program. This communication presents the system developed in CISRU, focusing on the modules of AI-based perception and the interaction between astronauts and robots.
