NASA engineers are developing an AI interface called ChatGPT, which is designed to allow astronauts to interact conversationally with AI in spacecraft, or for ground control centers to communicate with remote probe intelligent robots. Early versions of this AI technology are expected to be deployed on a lunar orbiting space station, the engineer said.
Dr. Suzanne, a NASA visiting researcher, presented this interplanetary communications network with built-in AI at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) conference on next-generation space communications in London. The network is understood to be able to detect and fix malfunctions and inefficiencies without having to send engineers up to fix them every time.
In addition, the system has a natural language interface that allows astronauts and mission controllers to interact directly with the AI in a dialog rather than having to read cumbersome technical manuals. This means astronauts can seek advice on space experiments or complex operations through the interface.
Dr. Suzanne is also looking at how machine learning can be applied in space, where supercomputers can't be relied on to process all kinds of data. She describes a method called federated learning that allows robots searching for water or specific minerals on remote planets to share knowledge. This method allows robots to continue learning without having to send large amounts of data back to Earth. Robots can learn together by cooperating with each other by updating and cooperating based on what other robots are observing, a technique for distributed learning.
Dr. Suzanne is known to be a visiting researcher at NASA and a technical director at Google. She participated in the Engineers exhibition at the Science Museum in London, showcasing a variety of technologies, including space satellites, surgical robots, and digital fashion.
Dr. Suzanne says that working with NASA was one of her childhood dreams and made a wish list of nearly 500 items at the age of 12, of which working with NASA was one. She has also realized other dreams such as meeting Prince Charles of England, building robots, and visiting all the Disney parks.
