Abstract :
Contemporary Unmanned Space Vehicles (USVs) • Complex control architecture. • Autonomy: non-stop operation supporting in-service adaptation to unexpected situations. Challenge • Effective adaptation to unpredictable internal and external changes. Bio-inspired Possible Solution • Physiology of living systems (auto-configuration, auto-reproduction, and auto-regulation abilities). • Self-adaptation — inspired by physiological functions performed by single/multi-operational combination of nervous system reflexes. • USVs with reflex-driven homeostasis properties.
