Abstract
In an approach to distributed computer processing networks for lunar bases and space stations, a system includes one or more sensors; a communications network; and a plurality of tiles. The tiles are configured to monitor the one or more sensors via the communications network; track a location of each computing device using the communications network; and responsive to determining any tile of the plurality of tiles has failed, transfer one or more tasks from the tile that has failed to a neighboring tile.
Claims20
A system for distributed computer processing networks for lunar bases and space stations, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- a communications network;
- and
- a plurality of tiles, the tiles configured to:
- monitor the one or more sensors via the communications network;
- track a location of each computing device using the communications network;
- and
- responsive to determining any tile of the plurality of tiles has failed, transfer one or more tasks from the tile that has failed to a neighboring tile.
A system for distributed computer processing networks for lunar bases and space stations, the system comprising:
- one or more pressurized cylinders;
- an asset management unit;
- one or more robots, each of the one or more robots having an internal control unit;
- a traffic management system;
- a smart lighting system;
- a communications network;
- a plurality of smart sensors, including environmental sensors;
- and
- a plurality of tiles, the tiles configured to:
- monitor the plurality of smart sensors;
- control the smart lighting system based on the plurality of smart sensors;
- track a location of each computing device using the traffic management system;
- monitor the environmental sensors;
- and
- responsive to determining an emergency exists, direct any of the one or more robots to respond to the emergency.
A system for distributed computer processing networks and integrated robotics for lunar bases and space stations, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- one or more robots;
- a communications network;
- and
- a plurality of tiles, the tiles configured to:
- monitor the one or more sensors via the communications network;
- responsive to determining that a fire has been detected by any of the one or more sensors:
- characterize a nature of the fire;
- generate a response summary;
- direct at least one of the one or more robots to respond to the fire;
- and
- responsive to determining that assistance is required, directing one or more additional robots to respond to the fire.
