The Automated Decision Making Group (ADMG) has been actively engaged in publications and media coverage related to artificial intelligence in space exploration. Their work includes the development of SHERPA, an AI system for mission planning and decision support, which was presented at the 18th International Conference on Space Operations (SpaceOps 2025).

ADMG researchers have also contributed to other notable conferences, such as the 2025 International Conference on Space Robotics (iSpaRo), the 2nd Space Robotics Workshop (SRW), the 2024 10th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT), and the IEEE Aerospace Conference 2023. These presentations have showcased their advancements in adaptive science operations, robust precomputed autonomy, and trajectory optimization for deep space missions.

In addition to academic conferences, ADMG has made significant media appearances. Their work on SHERPA and AI assistance for NASA's VIPER rover has been featured in multiple articles by Aerospace America, NASA, and space.com. These publications highlight the potential of AI in revolutionizing lunar exploration and have been instrumental in raising awareness about the group's contributions to space technology.
