Bosch and Astrobotic Technology will test an audio-based method of assessing mechanical systems by listening to them on the International Space Station (ISS). The trial, starting May 2019, will use Bosch's SoundSee technology, including microphones and machine learning, mounted on to Astrobotic's autonomous Astrobee robot, which flies around the internal chambers of the ISS. Bosch scientist Dr Joseph Szurley said the initiative is linked to the company's desire to use audio analytics to assess machinery such as car engines or HVAC systems.
