NASA is planning to challenge the public and the scientific community to design an automated badembly robot with artificial intelligence, able to explore the surface of the moon, said Tuesday William Harris , CEO of Space Center Houston. Houston Center (USA), the official NASA Johnson Space Center reception center, regularly hosts public awareness programs to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in scientific research.
These programs encourage students and scientists to come up with innovative solutions to problems The US space agency is trying to overcome difficulties in carrying out space exploration missions.
"The next challenge is that of the Moon – the announcement of the creation next year – of the development of a robot The surface of Moon has an artificial intelligence platform that allows her to make decisions based on what she learns about the lunar surface, "Harris told PTI in an interview. 19659002] "In fact, when we sent human beings to the moon in the 1960s, the simple act of going there and returning safely was a tremendous achievement, and we did not do much science. during these missions, "he said.
Most astronauts were then test pilots. The first and only scientist to have visited the Moon is Harrison Schmitt, an American geologist, who is now Harris is the last surviving crew member of Apollo 17.
There was very little there is room for maneuver to conduct scientific experiments, and to date there are many things we do not know about the moon, "he said.
The astronauts that NASA is recruiting now are scientists.
The US Space Agency is currently working on effective technologies that can help astronauts conduct scientific experiments on the moon.
traces of frozen water beneath the surface of the Moon have been discovered, which not only offers the Moon the opportunity to harbor some primitive life, but also offers future astronauts the opportunity to harvest of water and to form a space colony.
Water c We could also separate to provide hydrogen, which would allow us to send missions further into space, Harris said.
"NASA has come to recognize that you can become too insular with your own team, so it's best to open up to the general public to see if anyone has any ideas that can help us pick up different ones. challenges, "he said.
Harris gave the example of a space robotics challenge aimed at programming NASA programs. humanoid Valkyrie to perform human-type tasks.
"In the group of ten semi-finalists, we had teams from two of the top universities, but the winner of the challenge was a homemaker who was accompanying his six-year-old son," Harris said.
NASA is now using its solutions to program Valkyrie. Thus, space programs can flourish and create new horizons, he said.
Harris was in New Delhi in a delegation of representatives seeking to strengthen ties with Indian companies and to become familiar with the latest developments in the country's business environment. industries such as aerospace, health care and information technology.
