Cooperative Capability
Multi-Robot Cooperative Task Capability
Multi-Robot Cooperative Task Capability is software stored on radiation-hardened NOR flash that coordinates teams of up to eight robots to execute tasks beyond single-robot scope, including heavy lifting and large structure assembly. Drawing 1 W of power with a 500,000-hour mean time between failures and a 100-year operational lifetime, it implements synchronized motion, task decomposition, and conflict resolution. In the lunar environment, the lack of a protective magnetosphere exposes surface systems to severe ionizing radiation, necessitating radiation-hardened physical storage to maintain authenticated coordination and long-mission cooperation evolution without data corruption.
Multi-robot cooperative task capability enabling robots to perform tasks beyond single-robot scope (e.g., heavy lifting, large structure assembly).
