A One NASA Peer Award was presented on March 9 to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)-led Coupled Layer Architecture for Robotic Autonomy (CLARAty) Team, which was recognized by their peers for their efforts to foster NASA-wide collaboration.
Professor Roumeliotis' research group collaborates on two projects with the CLARAty team: "Estimation within the CLARAty Architecture" and "3D Localization for Mars Rovers"
The CLARAty team was honored for the accomplishment of creating and applying a software framework for integrating innovations in robotics into rapid insertion into NASA's flight missions. The team promotes reuse of robotic software by providing a flexible framework to support the development and integration of robotic technologies across centers, the benefits of which have been felt by the Mars Exploration Rover mission and the Mars Science Laboratory mission.
The winners are - JPL: Tara Estlin, Dan Gaines, Richard Madison, Michael McHenry, Hari Das Nayar, Issa Nesnas, Mihail Pivtoraiko, Gregg Rabideau, Babak Sapir, and I-hsiang Shu; NASA Ames: Clayton Kunz; Carnegie Mellon University: David Apfelbaum and Reid Simmons; University of Minnesota: Stergios Roumeliotis.
The One NASA Peer Award program gives awards to individuals and teams whose achievements support NASA's strategic goals and utilize an approach consistent with the concept of One NASA.
