    Mars Rover Curiosity to Become Autonomous in 2013 NASA’s Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science (AEGIS) software, which has been on board the Mars rover Opportunity for almost three years, will help Curiosity zoom in on features that Earth-based scientists want to see. It will use an automated image-capture process to photograph rocks meeting certain criteria, and then zoom in on them for further study. Scientists can program it to say “if you see this, do this,” which will make it easier to focus on interesting targets. NASA won’t have to go through the arduous process of checking the rover’s images for interesting features, and then telling it to proceed.
