Listen to Steve Squyres, Cornell University, Principal Investigator of the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) project, share some of his thoughts on AEGIS and its use on MER. [download]
Steve: The thing about AEGIS, is it's a first meaningful step towards allowing a robotic vehicle on another planet to make intelligent science choices that the team is not able to make, and that way to get more science back down to the ground. It's one of the first times we've really trusted a robot on Mars to actually make smart choices about the science, and it's working.
