Endocrine based algorithms which mimic biological processes have been shown to have applications in the area of autonomous power management on robotic vehicles. This project intends to adapt the work carried out in the UK for use by robot rovers on the surface of Mars. The highly dynamic power generation and load profiles in this environment mean that the currently used simple operational schedules have significant margins built in, such that the rover will stop all activities if one criterion is not met. The proposed technique will enable a more intelligent autonomous assessment of the power available, and will allow the rover to carry out low risk, low power activities that can significantly improve the science return. These activities could include imaging and other surface or atmospheric sensing. It is anticipated that there will be other space based opportunities for this technique where autonomy will add to the science or commercial return from a mission or product.

基于内分泌的模拟生物过程的算法已被证明在机器人车辆的自主功率管理领域中具有应用。该项目旨在调整在联合王国开展的工作，供火星表面的机器人漫游车使用。在这种环境中，高度动态的发电和负载曲线意味着当前使用的简单操作调度具有显著的内置裕度，使得如果不满足一个标准，则漫游车将停止所有活动。该技术将能够对可用功率进行更智能的自主评估，并允许漫游车进行低风险，低功率的活动，可以显着提高科学回报。这些活动可包括成像和其他表面或大气层传感。预计这种技术还将有其他空间机会，其中自主性将增加使命或产品的科学或商业回报。
