from failed ones. Required machine intelligence technologies include: ? Autonomous processing (essentially no programming) ? Autonomous "dynamic" memory ? Autonomous error-correction ? Inherently parallel processing ? Abductive/dialectic logical capabilities ? General capacity for acquisition and recognition of patterns ? Universal "Turing Machine" computability.
Numerous other supporting technologies also are essential for the staging of autonomous space exploration missions, including low-thrust propulsion systems; general- purpose surface exploration vehicles able to function on both solid and fluid surfaces; reconfigurable sensor nets and smart sensors; flexible, adaptive general-purpose robot manipulators; and distributed intelligence/database systems.
