Future spacecraft will have its own intelligence

The European Space Agency and British scientists are kicking off an inferior craft project to make their own decisions in space exploration.

With the support of the European Space Agency (ESA), British scientists are studying control systems that can be applied to artificial satellites, spacecraft, and automatic exploration equipment. . Thanks to those systems, devices in the universe will be able to self-study, identify problems, fix themselves and make decisions about the best way to perform tasks , Telegraph reported.

Professor Sandor Veres, an expert at the University of Southampton automation system in the UK and directed the project, said, the new automated system will be used in spacecraft to bring astronauts to space.

' Someday telecom satellites and spacecraft that people are controlling from the ground will be able to perform all tasks on their own. Then their operating costs will be significantly reduced , 'he said.

Veres's team is working on a control system that can read English documents to get new instructions or information. That means people will not have to create specialized software to help them perform tasks.

' Our control system can deduce and access the Internet to acquire the latest knowledge. We combine these two capabilities together so that the system can feel the world around, set goals and decide what it wants to do , 'Veres said.

Alessandro Donati, director of technology at the ESA Space Flight Center, describes the operation of self-propelled devices with artificial intelligence on a strange planet as follows: ' When they see a stone Interestingly, they can make their own decisions to take photos or not. The spacecraft can also rearrange the work plan without waiting for orders from the earth . '

Many people are concerned, the spacecraft with artificial intelligence will become a threat to people if the control system fails. Professor Veres claims, the systems that his team invented are programmed so that they cannot make harmful decisions for humans .

Dr. Wolfgang Paetsch, director of production and development of automated flight equipment of Astrium Group in Europe, announced that the group is also working on artificial intelligence for spacecraft.
