- Description
- FOB Destination Deliver to: NASA Langley Research Center Hampton, VA 23681-2199 STATEMENT OF WORK LANDO: Lightweight Surface Manipulation System (LSMS) AutoNomy capabilities Development for surface� Operations and construction Introduction The Lightweight Surface Manipulation System (LSMS) AutoNomy capabilities Development for surface� Operations and construction (LANDO) project is tasked with delivering a system capable of� autonomous for payload handling on the lunar and Martian surfaces. The LANDO project was selected� for the NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) Early Career Initiative (ECI) for FY22/23. The project will leverage current and past investment in LSMS hardware and autonomy software� development to develop a modular, plug-and-play autonomy system to enable the LSMS as a commodity� device for autonomous payload handling that can interface with landers or surface agents. This activity requires Government-Furnished Information in the form of NASA-owned Autonomous� Control Software for the LSMS. LANDO will be developing autonomous control software in accordance with Exhibit B, Contract� Documentation Requirements (CDR), Software Management Plan Requirements. The developed system will be verified and validated with the following laboratory tests conducted� by NASA LaRC: � � �Can autonomously offload payloads from a tilted lander deck, while maintaining safe operations� by sensing the misalignment of the LSMS king-post with the gravity vector and self-leveling to� ensure they are aligned. This is a critical use case for the likely scenario when a lander lands on� a sloped surface and the deck is tilted; and, � � �Can autonomously determine if a payload is safe to lift and handle by sensing the force� required to lift from the surface using a force/torque sensor at the wrist and comparing the� measured force with the known safe operation envelope. This is a critical use case for ASC operations involving unstructured payloads on the surface. � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � The contractor shall conduct research in autonomy control software algorithms and techniques for autonomous control of the LSMS. �
