The cost of having human operators on the moon is seen to be prohibitive to the commercialization of lunar resources. Teleoperation is commonly used in the remote control of terrestrial mining equipment. Teleoperating mining equipment on the Moon from the Earth is attractive but involves a transmission loop time delay of 4 to 10 seconds. A human operator can handle time delays of about 1 second in simple teleoperation applications. By increasing the autonomy of the remote vehicle it may be possible to extend the acceptable telecontrol time delay to the required 10 seconds without drastically reducing the performance of the remote equipment. A project team has been put together at the University of Saskatchewan to investigate Long Delay Teleoperation for Applications in Mining. The project is studying the use of approximate reasoning using Fuzzy, Neural, and Genetic algorithms to extend the acceptable time delay for automated mining equipment to 10 seconds. This project is being funded by NSERC, the Canadian Space Agency, and a mining equipment manufacturer, Prairie Machine and Parts (Equipment Division).
