The first space assistant

In the silence of space, where seconds can define the success or failure of a mission, a new artificial intelligence promises to become the protector of astronauts, its name is Daphne-AT, a virtual assistant created to detect failures, suggest solutions and, above all, save lives when there are no specialists nearby.

Developed by researchers at Texas A&M in collaboration with NASA, this system represents a new leap in the use of already in extreme environments, Daphne-AT was designed to monitor in real time the vital systems of a spacecraft, such as levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, pressure and presence of contaminants.

When something goes out of the normal range, such as a sudden drop in oxygen concentration, it not only issues alerts but also guides the crew on what to do step by step. This is possible thanks to its hybrid decision architecture that combines rule-based logic with learning from historical data and active sensors.

In tests carried out with students and specialists in realistic simulations at Hera. An environment that replicates the confinement of a space mission. Daphne-AT demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce anomaly resolution time. Extracts information from sensors, cross-references data with previous records and provides clear guidance, even for users with little experience.

More than an alert system, Daphne-AT activates during the mission, communicates with natural language, prioritizes tasks according to the level of risk and keeps the crew informed without overloading them. Its design was designed to complement human reasoning, offering suggestions, but allowing the final decision to remain in the hands of the astronauts.

The AI is capable of operating even in critical situations such as fires on board or failures in the life support system, where pressure demands immediate responses. The concept is very similar to that of the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey and that scares me.
