The proposed technology can be deployed as a backup in current spacecraft and can play a foundational role in upcoming deep-space missions, which will require higher levels of autonomy than current missions. The system proposed can autonomously manage many spacecraft operations, including systems health, crew health, maintenance, consumable management, payload management, food production, and recycling.
The proposed technology can be applied in any setting that would benefit from robust, autonomous management, including airplane piloting, autonomous or semi-autonomous trucking, decision support, and medicine.
