Furfaro The search for life beyond Earth through fuzzy expert systems 2008 25 .pdf application/pdf 19631 1949 63 Founded on the premise that water and energy are key to life, we have designed a fuzzy system that can (1) acquire the appropriate past/present water/energy indicators while the tier-scalable mission architecture is deployed (first layer), and (2) evaluate habitability through a specialized fuzzy knowledge-base of the water and energy information (second layer) acquired in (1). Keywords: Fuzzy logic; Tier-scalable mission autonomy; Astrobiology; Search for life; Robotic planetary exploration; Autonomous planetary fuzzy-based expert system for life assessment and interpretation can effectively retain only data that yields Fuzzy rules are defined by linguistic statements expressing the expert field knowledge required to infer new facts. according to past/present water/energy, leading to indicators of life potential. of rules linking past/present water/energy to life-containing First fuzzy-layer: past/present water/energy past water on Mars, are the input to the fuzzy system #2 (first layer) to First fuzzy-layer: past/present water/energy assessment for life-containing potential ./cache/work_rcxb7tpvibdetk4dirtapg2vjy.pdf ./txt/work_rcxb7tpvibdetk4dirtapg2vjy.txt
