Research abstract
ProtoInnovations, LLC proposes to continue the development and application of an analytical simulation tool for the design of line-replaceable units (LRUs), referred to as the Set Partitioning/Packing Formulation (SPF) Engine, with a specific focus on lunar robotic excavation systems. In Phase II of this project, we will enhance the SPF Engine to incorporate diagnostics and condition monitoring in the design of LRUs. We will apply the SPF in the engineering development of mobility and excavation tool LRUs, which we will validate onboard a ProtoInnovations rover in a lunar-relevant test environment. The design of the physical LRUs will be driven by considerations of reliability, versatility, and scalability.
