About AIKO - Infinite ways to autonomy
AIKO research-centered, innovative and futuristic mission is clear: developing algorithms infused with Artificial Intelligence, to increase the autonomy of current space missions. Artificial Intelligence has entered a new period of scientific relevance. It's time to leap from the traditional, rigid, Earth-bound space systems to autonomous, sentient ones. Scientific data must be prioritized, telemetry data must be interpreted with improved accuracy, failures must be mitigated, design must be optimized. AI-based algorithms not only offer increased performances with respect to traditional architectures, but are an enabling technology for advanced mission concepts.
