European Space Agency – ESA has awarded a General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) grant to CFMS to develop the Large AI & Robotics Space Simulator (LARS Sim), a next-generation simulation platform designed to accelerate space mission development.
As space exploration advances, future missions require complex concept of operations (ConOps) scenarios that incorporate advanced robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and intelligent systems. LARS Sim addresses a critical challenge in the space sector by creating highly realistic, data centre-enabled simulation engine capable of managing thousands of high-fidelity scenes for advanced concept development, verification, and validation.
The platform’s key innovation lies in its unique approach to simulation technology. LARS Sim will leverage data centre-powered multi-scene and multi-view rendering, complemented by AI-driven tools. Deep-learning based Machine Learning (ML) techniques will be instrumental in simplifying scene distribution and streamlining assessments, enabling small expert teams to manage enormous volumes of generated scenes efficiently.
Data centers have become the nerve centers of our connected digital economy. Tech giants are pouring billions into data centers as enablers of the next wave of technological innovation.
By providing a a comprehensive data centre-enabled multi-scene and multi-view rendering simulation platform which integrates AI driven tools, LARS Sim is expected to significantly enhance the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of managing enormous volumes of visual data enabling rapid, high-quality insights.
