AI in Space Exploration: The Pivotal Role of Mars Rovers
AI in Space Exploration: The Pivotal Role of Mars Rovers AI in Space Exploration: The Pivotal Role of Mars Rovers Space exploration has always pushed the boundaries of human ambition, and now, with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) , we are reaching new frontiers. The most evident example of this is the use of AI-powered Mars rovers , which have revolutionized the exploration of the Red Planet. The journey of AI-powered Mars rovers started with the Sojourner rover, which landed on Mars in 1997. This groundbreaking mission marked the first use of autonomous systems in space exploration. Subsequent missions, including Spirit , Opportunity , Curiosity , and Perseverance , have further developed AI capabilities, allowing these rovers to navigate, analyze, and operate with increased independence. One of the key advantages of these rovers is their ability to autonomously navigate the challenging Martian terrain. Using computer vision , ...
