为冰卫星探测设计可自主诊断恢复的AI系统,减少地球依赖。

AI Space Cortex: An Experimental System for Future Era Space Exploration

  • 用AI驱动的个性式框架实现自主决策与异常处理
  • 在实验室测试中完成无需地球指令的自主采样操作
  • 适合未来深空探测中通信延迟长、资源受限的任务

我们的REASIMO项目支持美国宇航局COLDTech计划,探索木卫二和土卫二等海洋世界探测平台技术。这些任务面临通信延迟长、电力有限、辐射损伤导致寿命短等挑战。在此背景下,机载自主性对任务成功至关重要。除常规着陆器操作外,系统还需在出现异常时自主应对。传统航天器通常进入‘安全模式’以保障安全,但对时间紧迫的海洋世界任务而言,无需地球介入的自主故障恢复机制是达成科学目标的关键。REASIMO旨在展示一种高度鲁棒的AI辅助自主能力,包括异常检测与恢复,以及基于预训练行为而非硬编码逻辑执行任务的能力。我们构建了一个结合多种先进技术的AI驱动、人格化智能控制框架,并在喷气推进实验室的着陆器机械臂试验台上,模拟可能遇到的表面环境,验证了该框架在自主采样任务中的性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Our Robust, Explainable Autonomy for Scientific Icy Moon Operations (REASIMO) effort contributes to NASA's Concepts for Ocean worlds Life Detection Technology (COLDTech) program, which explores science platform technologies for ocean worlds such as Europa and Enceladus. Ocean world missions pose significant operational challenges. These include long communication lags, limited power, and lifetime limitations caused by radiation damage and hostile conditions. Given these operational limitations, onboard autonomy will be vital for future Ocean world missions. Besides the management of nominal lander operations, onboard autonomy must react appropriately in the event of anomalies. Traditional spacecraft rely on a transition into 'safe-mode' in which non-essential components and subsystems are powered off to preserve safety and maintain communication with Earth. For a severely time-limited Ocean world mission, resolutions to these anomalies that can be executed without Earth-in-the-loop communication and associated delays are paramount for completion of the mission objectives and science goals. To address these challenges, the REASIMO effort aims to demonstrate a robust level of AI-assisted autonomy for such missions, including the ability to detect and recover from anomalies, and to perform missions based on pre-trained behaviors rather than hard-coded, predetermined logic like all prior space missions. We developed an AI-assisted, personality-driven, intelligent framework for control of an Ocean world mission by combining a mix of advanced technologies. To demonstrate the capabilities of the framework, we perform tests of autonomous sampling operations on a lander-manipulator testbed at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, approximating possible surface conditions such a mission might encounter.
