TL;DR — Papers from a March 1987 symposium in Arlington, Virginia on AI, robotics and computing for the space program, from NASA, the Navy, the Army and university labs.
A Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) compilation of papers from the symposium held March 9–11, 1987, in Arlington, Virginia. It opens with a keynote by NASA Deputy Administrator Dale Myers and includes AIAA papers on artificial intelligence in the Navy, vision and navigation for Carnegie Mellon’s Navlab, the Connection Machine as a fine-grained multiprocessor, NASA’s Systems Autonomy Demonstration Project for Space Station automation, AI for satellite autonomy, validation of knowledge-based systems, tele-autonomous systems, Army robotics, redundant manipulators and computer architecture for future spacecraft.
The scan is poor — DTIC’s notice says many pages do not reproduce legibly — so much of the text layer is unreadable.
What it is: a conference proceedings compilation as archived by DTIC; a snapshot of 1980s expert-systems-era thinking about space automation.
