AI applications for the Space Station program - technology, design and integration challenges
Initial and growth configurations of the Space Station strongly suggest that advanced command, control and information management techniques and technologies will be required for both ground and on-board functions. Such advanced technologies are expected to significantly increase crew productivity, reduce long-term support and maintenance costs, and facilitate the transfer of such technologies to the general economy. The area of artificial intelligence offers considerable promise for achieving many of these important national and international goals. This paper addresses some of the most important issues associated with incorporating artificial intelligence into the design of the Space Station, and the integration of such technologies with more traditional automation approaches. Specificially, the following challenges are discussed: (1) technology readiness, (2) function allocation/implementation criteria, (3) knowledge transfer from man to machine (knowledge engineering), and (4) test, verification and validation methods. 6 references.
