NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars is utilizing advanced AI technologies to autonomously analyze rock compositions in search of potential signs of ancient microbial life. This marks a significant advancement in space missions towards making real-time decisions without human intervention. The rover has been testing artificial intelligence to identify minerals within rocks on the Red Planet for almost three years.
The software supports PIXL, a spectrometer developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which maps the chemical composition of minerals across a rock's surface. Adaptive sampling autonomously positions the instrument close to a rock target and analyzes PIXL's scans in real-time to identify minerals worth examining further. AI technology assists in precision positioning and creating detailed mineral maps on Mars.
