During the past 50 years, we have learned to explore and work in space. Much of what we know about the Solar System we owe to observations and sampling made by robotic spacecraft, landers, planetary rovers, and astronauts. As we look to the future, however, there is ample opportunity to reinvent planetary exploration: to develop new techniques and systems that will enhance and enable discovery.In this talk, I will describe how the NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group (IRG) is working to reinvent planetary exploration. First, I will present IRG's development of robots for human exploration. These robots are designed to perform work before, in parallel, and after human activity. Next, I will show how IRG is building automated planetary mapping systems to process the enormous amount of data that NASA collects from orbit. Finally, I will discuss how IRG is changing the way ground control software is created, particularly for supporting science operations.
