The future of the ISS is a symbiosis of robots and astronauts
The duration of astronauts' stay on the International Space Station is significantly limited — no more than a year. Robots, devoid of human weaknesses and needs, can function almost indefinitely. A very significant advantage, isn't it? A new method of data storage, which was found by French scientists from the Institute of Health and Medical Research, will allow to increase their functionality. Using the new technology, robots will be able to accumulate and store all the knowledge acquired by humans during space exploration, and apply it as needed. It is also assumed that the new data storage method will increase the speed of robot training in new operations, make them more versatile and facilitate the establishment of constant interaction between the station crews. The robots themselves will become permanent residents of the space station, while they will not be limited only by the information resources of the station itself.
The new data storage method is currently undergoing testing. A prototype robot with a new "autobiographical" memory, on which the new technology is being tested, has already been created by the French company Aldebaran Robotics. By the way, the same company has developed a robot "Pepper", capable of recognizing and imitating human emotions. The new Nao humonoid robot will be able to learn new operations both visually through direct interaction with crew members and through voice commands. Its distinctive feature is the rapid speed of assimilation of information and ways of using it in the implementation of practical tasks.
It is assumed that by staying at the station all the time, robots will provide significant assistance to crew members and improve by accumulating data and information.
The new technology will allow astronauts to significantly reduce the waste of effort and time on necessary work and planned research.
The future of the International Space Station presupposes close interaction between astronauts and robots, especially since there is already a similar experience — using the Kirobo talking robot, the first robot on the space station developed by the Japanese firm Tomotaka Takahashi.
