AI Guides Astrobee Through the ISS in a Historic First
Early this year, an artificial intelligence system helped pilot Astrobee, a free-flying robot aboard the International Space Station for the first time. The results of the experiment were presented at the International Conference on Space Robotics in December 2025. The milestone was achieved using NASA’s small, cube-shaped robotic assistant operating aboard the station. In a series of planned maneuvers, the AI system demonstrated its ability to …
At the International Space Station (ISS), any task involving movement is a challenge, not only for astronauts, but also for robotic systems. In this microgravity environment, moving without colliding with sensitive modules, cables or equipment requires millimetric planning. Up to now, most of the control of space robots depended on humans or relatively slow and unadaptative algorithms. However, that could be changing thanks to an experiment led …
