Description
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been recognized as a major advance in several industries including Automotive, Agriculture and Healthcare, disrupting traditional approaches and leading to a myriad of novel applications. The space domain has also been reached by the innovation potential of AI, chiefly in Earth Observation applications. Moreover, the increasingly more powerful processing units, together with enhanced and less computationally intensive AI algorithms, make it possible to explore new AI applications, especially for onboard implementations. The objective of the AIVIONIC technology development project is to implement a HW/SW demonstrator of an AI-based Visual Navigation System that can be applied to mission scenarios of Lunar landing and rendezvous and capture of a non-cooperative target. This follows a novel development line towards demonstrating the use of AI in space critical systems, in a dependable manner.
