Abstract

We present a friendly software platform called Marsbase for the simulation of human activities on Mars. The interface allows the user to command every astronaut activity on Mars, typically exploring the region, analyzing rocks or building new facilities. In the AI mode, astronauts’ decisions and actions are defined by a competition between different basic processes. Some human factors such as tiredness or perseverance have been implemented.
