Bosch SoundSee, Powered by Artificial Intelligence, Heads to the International Space Station – TechEBlog

Global technology company Bosch is launching a new sensor system powered by artificial intelligence, called the SoundSee, to the International Space Station. This module comes equipped with microphones and uses machine learning to detect and analyze sounds it hears. It then uses these sounds to establish a baseline, and continuously compares new audio to be able to immediately discover potential mechanical issues that could cause problems. It will also be used to provide information about the current performance of the ISS systems, and when they need maintenance or repair. The Bosch SoundSee will be installed on the Astrobee robot whose ultimate goal is to take over mundane activities to enable astronauts to focus on their work.
