AI-Box is a data processing asset with advanced functions mounted inside ICE Cubes Facility. This in-house development is accommodated long-term on the station, and it is meant to support a variety of activities and applications that would benefit from such a capability in-orbit , for data processing, communication and development of new solutions.
The 1U asset was designed with a suite of built-in sensors that generate environmental data to complement onboard activities.

Specific use cases include, for example, software demonstration and validation, embedded and edge computing, image processing, object detection, and voice processing, just to name a few. The AI-Box has already been successfully utilized, while other applications are undergoing preparation. The AI-Box may be able to support all of your equipment's data processing requirements. It may also be able to realize functions you may have not considered possible yet. To get inspired, read more about possible use cases here.
