Mission Design

Mission design focuses on optimizing the planning and execution of complex missions, particularly in challenging environments like space or urban airspace with autonomous vehicles. Current research emphasizes probabilistic approaches, incorporating uncertainties and constraints through models like hybrid probabilistic logic programs, to ensure safe and compliant mission execution. This work is crucial for advancing autonomous systems in various fields, from space exploration and advanced air mobility to unmanned aerial systems, by enabling robust and verifiable mission planning in the face of unpredictable conditions. The development of tools like question-answering systems further enhances accessibility and collaboration within the field.
