AI-enabled Autonomous Systems: Space Power Applications

Advances in artificial intelligence (A.I.) over the last decade opens new opportunities for NASA to advance the state of the art in autonomous missions beyond low-Earth-orbit. Still, many challenges remain before these technologies can be deployed on manned spacecraft. This presentation summarizes many of these challenges, provides recommendations on how to address these problems, and provides an example of NASA’s Autonomous Power Controller's A.I.-based fault detection system.
