RM at the AI for Good Summit in Geneva
The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics will take part in the AI for Good Summit from 30 to 31 May 2024 in Geneva and will present the A.H.E.A.D. project and the use of space and robotic technologies for use in humanitarian environments and disaster control and will be represented by an information stand with exhibits on the MMX space mission and the TINA robotic arm as well as a 3D visualisation for satellite-based earth observation.
The A.H.E.A.D. (autonomous humanitarian emergency aid devices) project aims to utilise innovative DLR technologies such as the remote control of space rovers and assisted teleoperation of vehicles with the aid of modern communication and satellite image data for humanitarian aid and the delivery of goods, thereby making our society more capable of acting in crisis situations. More and more methods and technologies with artificial intelligence are being used here.
A.H.E.A.D. is a sub-project of the DLR initiative "Technologies for Humanitarian Aid", which aims to utilise DLR technologies and innovations for humanitarian aid. The other projects of the initiative will therefore be presented at the AI for Good Summit together with the developments in A.H.E.A.D. and the work of the Centre for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI). New technologies will also be utilised, such as the use of virtual reality, in order to be able to use an extended situational picture in the event of damage or humanitarian emergencies.
In the MMX (Martian Moons eXploration) space project, a Japanese space probe is being developed to explore the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the French space agency CNES (Centre National des Etudes Spatiales) are involved with the IDEFIX rover, which will explore Phobos on the surface for several weeks.
The acronym TINA stands for This-Is-Not-an-Arm and represents a technology carrier that can be used as a small modular arm in space. With a range of 30 centimetres to 2 metres, it is ideal for use on small satellites in ISAM (In-Space-Assembly-Manufacturing) applications to support and collaborate with astronauts in space stations and for the exploration of the moon and Mars.
The AI for Good Global Summit is organised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) - the UN specialised agency for information and communication technology - in partnership with 40 UN sister organisations and hosted jointly with the Government of Switzerland. The theme is artificial intelligence in the areas of health, climate, gender, sustainable infrastructure and other global development priorities.
