The AI expertise network AIMS contributes to further optimizing the scientific use of microgravity platforms such as the ISS, parabolic flights, the drop tower, TEXUS missions or future unmanned platforms as international research platforms, as well as operating and evaluating µg experiments more efficiently. The portability of the developed AI methods should be the focus of the project from the outset. For this reason, the AI methods will be developed and used on an interdisciplinary basis.

The establishment of the AIMS expertise network continues DLR’s current AI efforts in terms of content and contributes to a more efficient use of the ISS, existing µg platforms and future unmanned platforms. Specifically, the use of artificial intelligence will focus on the evaluation of complex, transient, multidimensional data and the autonomous control of experiments. The open software interface and transparent documentation allow future users to quickly and easily adapt the developed methods to their needs. AIMS is creating an AI ecosystem for innovation, which networks players across sectors in order to strengthen the attractiveness of Germany and Europe as a research and business location.
