On an Upcoming Mission, Space Robot to Test Deep Audio Analytics Analytics Insight
Welcome to the exciting world of audio analytics which can help to bridge this gap by learning the characteristics of human speech and the environment of communication. In space, the mechanical equipment screaming cannot be heard by anyone, unless, it is a pressurized environment with a microphone array availability nearby. Bosh and American space logistics company Astrobotic Technology Inc. will soon send roving robots into space and plan to test experimental sensor technology powered to assess how mechanical systems are running just by listening. This research will take place on board the International Space Station (ISS) and could commence as early as May 2019. The joint Bosch and Astrobotic research adds a bit of scientific repeatability to that idea, Bosch's SoundSee technology deploys an array of machine learning and microphones to study information contained in noises emitted from machinery aboard the ISS.
Jeffrey Williams breaks US record as he logs 521 days in orbit
Earlier this year, Scott Kelly launched into the record books after spending the most cumulative days in space for any US astronaut, with 520 days 10 hours and 33 minutes. But as of Wednesday, the torch has been passed to International Space Station commander Jeffrey Williams, who just logged his 521st day in orbit. Williams is the second American to break the record this past year, and he will have spent a total of 534 days away from the planet by the time he returns to Earth. Jeffrey Williams (pictured) has logged his 521st day in orbit, setting a new record for the most cumulative days in space. Williams will spend a total of 534 days off the planet for Nasa by the time he returns to Earth.
