The objective of the activity is to increase the level of autonomy in decision making processes for quality assurance in telecommunication spacecraft assembly, integration and test (AIT).

In this activity, an AI-based image feature recognition system shall be developed to interpret the data retrieved by an augmented reality set to validate assembly operations (mounting, dismounting, repairs, etc.). This AI module shall be introduced and connected to an augmented reality system. AI accelerators or other suitable hardware shall be selected from existing commercial off-the-shelf products. The system shall be capable of processing portions of the spacecraft full computer aided design (CAD) model. The system shall validate autonomously the correct execution of a procedure by comparing the CAD model with the physical status of the spacecraft after assembly. The effectiveness of the system shall be quantified and demonstrated in a realistic environment with representative AIT procedures.
