Artificial Intelligence-enabled Hardware Cosmic Radiation Sensor for Space Applications (AICoRS) 2024 – 2026 contract de finanțare 2ROMD/01.06.2024
This project is implemented in collaboration with Technical University of Moldova (UTM), Chișinău, Republic of Moldova.
Funded by the Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, project PN-IV-P8-8.3-ROMD-2023-0068 entitled ”Artificial Intelligence-enabled Hardware Cosmic Radiation Sensor for Space Applications (AICoRS)”, contract no. 2ROMD/01.06.2024.
Scope: The AICoRS project aims at designing, implementing and validating an experimental model of a cosmic radiation sensor (Single Event Upset detector) for Space applications (at TRL 4), which will be implemented in hardware, on an FPGA and it will benefit of a hardware implementation of an AI model for the real-time, on-the-fly analysis of the radiation-induced faults patterns in the satellite-embarked electronics. In the process, the young researchers involved in the project, especially the ones from UTM, will be trained and supported for their advancement in the academic careers. This will be achieved through the appropriate mentoring and planned mobilities (exchanges) of the early-stage researchers between Romania and Republic of Moldova. The project scope will be achieved in tight collaboration between the researchers from UNITBV and UTM and the complementarity of their existing infrastructure.
The AICoRS project has the following objectives in order to achieve the previously-declared scope: O1. Design, implementation and validation of the AICoRS experimental model (TRL 4), which is the FPGA-based implementation of the AI-enabled hardware Cosmic radiation sensor for Space applications; O2. Training the early-stage researchers involved in the AICoRS project; O3. Exploitation of the research infrastructure complementarity between UNITBV and UTM; O4. Dissemination of scientific results in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences and, last but not least, O5. Coordination and management for the successful project implementation.
