Hermes - A Command & Telemetry Framework

About this technology

Overview

Hermes is a platform meant to speed up the development of robotics software for spaceflight by providing an integrated tool for development of common JPL mission autonomous paradigms. JPL deep space missions typically utilize sequencing to prescribe the day-to-day autonomy carried out by surface robotics. Sequencing provides robot operators with planning flexibility required when performing various novel tasks. Robot operators also need insight into how the software and hardware is performing over the course of the sequence that may have previously commanded. RSVP Lite provides a system in which various telemetry products can be visualized over time. This includes the kinematic history of the robot as well as various visualizations to show the operator the world through the robots eyes and diagnose issues during development or operations
