Mission management system architecture

Abstract

A mission management system (MMS) of a robot includes a plurality of mission management system computers (MMSCs). Each MMSC includes a plurality of processors. Each processor includes a conflict detection and resolution module that is configured to identify conflicts associated with the robot and to determine conflict resolutions, a communication module that is configured to communicate with a supervisor system not included in the robot, and a flight plan management (FPM) module. The FPM module includes a mission update module and a behavior management module. The mission update module is configured to generate a nominal trajectory and one or more contingency trajectories for the robot. The behavior management module is configured to control a behavior of the robot.
