A robot chemist powered by artificial intelligence (AI) could solve the puzzle of providing oxygen to humans on Mars, according to a new study.
The study, published in Nature Synthesis, found that an AI robot could quickly figure out how to cook oxygen vital for survival compared to humans, who would need a lifetime to complete this task.
The reason, according to the paper, is that there are more than a million potential oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts on Mars, which would give humans too much to work with when trying to create oxygen. Adding to the problem is communication with Earth to resolve the issues, as transmissions take up to 20 minutes to travel between the home planet and Mars.
“Oxygen supply must be the highest priority for any human activity on Mars because rocket boosters and life support systems consume substantial amounts of oxygen, which cannot be replenished from the Martian atmosphere,” the authors wrote in the paper.
AI robots could take care of the oxygen supply without the need for help from humans, avoiding potential problems with humans' ability to survive on the planet.
The study predicts that instead of the life it would take a human through trial and error, AI robots could solve the puzzle in six weeks.
“In six weeks, the AI ​​chemist built a predictive model by learning from nearly 30,000 theoretical data sets and 243 experimental data sets,” the study says.
That same technology could soon find its way to Mars, where researchers believe it will pave the way for human exploration.
