Intelligent Systems in aerospace

More Information
  • Abstract: An overview of research in the areas of aerospace applications of artificial intelligence, expert Systems, neural networks and robotics is presented. Challenges associated with aerospace projects require increasingly complex aerospace Systems which in turn demand automation and fault tolerance. We have addressed these issues and provided a survey of the research on intelligent Systems that has been carried out in an attempt to meet these challenges. The application areas we have overviewed include fault monitoring and diagnosis, generation and management of power in space, efficient and effective command and control, operations and maintenance of space stations, planning and scheduling, automation, and cockpit management.

Abstract: Abstract: An overview of research in the areas of aerospace applications of artificial intelligence, expert Systems, neural networks and robotics is presented. Challenges associated with aerospace projects require increasingly complex aerospace Systems which in turn demand automation and fault tolerance. We have addressed these issues and provided a survey of the research on intelligent Systems that has been carried out in an attempt to meet these challenges. The application areas we have overviewed include fault monitoring and diagnosis, generation and management of power in space, efficient and effective command and control, operations and maintenance of space stations, planning and scheduling, automation, and cockpit management.
