The Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) will be part of a new $7 million project that will develop new autonomous spacecraft utilising artificial intelligence (AI). SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (SmartSat), Australia's leading space research centre, recently launched its three-year project, Spacecraft Autonomy and Onboard AI for Next Generation Space Systems (SCARLET-α). SCARLET-α aims to create a set of autonomous algorithms that will enable small and distributed spacecraft to make decisions independently, optimise the use of available resources and capabilities, adapt to changing conditions, and handle critical situations, without intervention from Earth.
