Prof. Karen Feigh participated in the Imagin Aviation Workshop Panel that discussed Advanced Air Mobility: Moving Through the Tech and Innovation Lifecycle. The outlook for aviation is looking decidedly futuristic with capabilities like eVTOL air taxis, autonomous regional transport, and drone delivery already on the horizon. Advanced air mobility (AAM) has captured the public’s imagination […]
NSTRF – Decision Support System Development for Human Extravehicular Activity
Human spaceflight is arguably one of mankind’s most challenging engineering feats, requiring carefully crafted synergy between human and technological capabilities. One critical component of human spaceflight pertains to the activity conducted outside the safe confines of the spacecraft, known as Extravehicular Activity (EVA). Successful execution of EVAs requires significant effort and real-time communication between astronauts […]
NASA Authority & Autonomy 2010-2013
NextGen systems are envisioned to be composed of human and automated agents interacting with dynamic flexibility in the allocation of authority and autonomy. The analysis of such concepts of operation requires methods for verifying and validating that the range of roles and responsibilities potentially assignable to the human and automated agents does not lead to […]
