AI-eXpress Workshop for Customers and Stakeholders held on 24 March 2021.
Launching the new era of the satellite as-a-service.
AI-eXpress (AIX) is the name of the forward-thinking project, which aims to bring to market a new concept of satellite as-a-service.
In the framework of European Space Agency's Φ-lab InCubed activity, AIx aims to lower the barriers for accessing to space, making available to more and more users on-demand and in-orbit resources such as data and information ready for users' applications.
All customers and stakeholders are invited to join the first online consultation workshop to learn how to get involved in the AIX project.

Autonomous Spacecraft Navigation with Artificial Intelligence.pdfheatblast616x
"Autonomous Spacecraft Navigation with Artificial Intelligence," explores the integration of AI technologies into spacecraft navigation systems. This cutting-edge approach enables spacecraft to operate autonomously, make real-time decisions, and adapt to dynamic mission conditions, revolutionizing space exploration capabilities.
This PPT defines you with a complete background in Mechatronics. Mechatronics, also called mechatronics engineering, is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the engineering of electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering systems, and also includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer, telecommunications, systems, control, and product engineering.
As technology advances over time, various subfields of engineering have succeeded in both adapting and multiplying. The intention of mechatronics is to produce a design solution that unifies each of these various subfields. Originally, the field of mechatronics was intended to be nothing more than a combination of mechanics and electronics, hence the name being a portmanteau of mechanics and electronics; however, as the complexity of technical systems continued to evolve, the definition had been broadened to include more technical areas.
The word mechatronics originated in Japanese-English and was created by Tetsuro Mori, an engineer of Yaskawa Electric Corporation. The word mechatronics was registered as trademark by the company in Japan with the registration number of "46-32714" in 1971. However, the company later released the right to use the word to public, where upon the word began being used across the world. Nowadays, the word is translated into many languages and is considered an essential term for advanced automated industry.
