Abstract

Infusing artificial intelligence algorithms into production aerospace systems can be challenging due to costs, timelines, and a risk-averse industry. We introduce the Onboard Artificial Intelligence Research (OnAIR) platform, an open-source software pipeline and cognitive architecture tool that enables full life cycle AI research for on-board intelligent systems. We begin with a description and user walk-through of the OnAIR tool. Next, we describe four use cases of OnAIR for both research and deployed onboard applications, detailing their use of OnAIR and the benefits it provided to the development and function of each respective scenario. Lastly, we describe two upcoming planned deployments which will leverage OnAIR for crucial mission outcomes. We conclude with remarks on future work and goals for the forward progression of OnAIR as a tool to enable a larger AI and aerospace research community.

OnAIR: NASA机载人工智能研究平台的应用

由于成本、时间和厌恶风险的行业，将人工智能算法注入生产航空航天系统可能具有挑战性。我们推出车载人工智能研究（OnAIR）平台，这是一个开源软件管道和认知架构工具，可实现车载智能系统的全生命周期人工智能研究。我们从OnAIR工具的描述和用户演练开始。接下来，我们将描述用于研究和部署机载应用程序的OnAIR的四个用例，详细介绍它们对OnAIR的使用以及它为每个各自场景的开发和功能提供的好处。最后，我们描述了两个即将到来的计划部署，它们将利用OnAIR实现关键的任务结果。最后，我们对OnAIR作为一种工具的未来工作和目标进行了评论，以实现更大的人工智能和航空航天研究界。
