NASA is planning to establish a Moon base within the next decade, and Space-X has its sights set upon missions to Mars for quite some time now. However, the big decision to make is how much risk are we going to take with human astronauts to achieve those goals.

We are now entering the availability of an AGI-system that can be trained extensively, and even more important, can learn from every experience it will encounter during deployment. Therefore, the obvious strategy is to use autonomous machines for the initial phases of these projects.

Robotics fitted with an ASTRID-Brain will be able to autonomously perform tasks that previously could only be done by humans. They can do this without the risk of being injured by the harsh conditions in outer space. This will make it possible to build fundamental infrastructure before human astronauts 'take the plunge'.

If you represent a company or agency that is working in this domain, and is eager to explore these possibilities, we encourage you to contact us. Here at MIND|CONSTRUCT, we are excited about partnering with you on joint development of specific applications for off world construction.

Humanity has been sending robotic machines to other planets for several decades now. The distance to our moon, however, already shows an obvious delay in communication transmissions. The vast distances to other planets in our own planetary system will obviously bring major difficulties in operating remote-controlled machines in those locations. This has held back the speed of progress of space exploration, and additionally has cost hundreds of millions in lost equipment and failed missions.

Fully autonomous spacecrafts, rovers and eventually more complex robots will be able to handle problems when and where they occur, right there and in time to prevent loss of costly equipment. Or even worse, like a completely failed mission. Such systems can anticipate the problems when they arise, instead of acting on events that already happened. This will greatly improve the speed of progress, and in the process bring down the overall cost of space exploration.
