System and method for data triage and fault detection in robotics and space operations

Abstract

Systems and methods for performing data triage in a remotely operated device system are provided. The method includes: providing data to an autonomy processing device configured to execute one or more anomaly detection software components, the data collected during performance of one or more tasks by a remotely operated device of the remotely operated device system; detecting off-nominal events in the data with the one or more anomaly detection software modules and flagging each off-nominal event as an anomalous event data element; prioritizing the anomalous event data elements using an autonomous data triage module to obtain a ranked set of anomalous event data elements; and transmitting a subset of the ranked anomalous event data elements during a subsequent available communication window according to ranking to a remote location. In an embodiment, the remotely operated device system is a space robotic system and the remote location is on Earth.
