Ai On Mars: Nasa’s Vandi Verma

Vandi Verma, the chief engineer for robotic operations at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), discusses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in robotics and automation. She explains how the Mars rovers rely on AI, including the technology’s use in digital twin simulations that enable JPL scientists to practice their driving skills before actually controlling the rovers on Mars. Vandi also shares how NASA’s use of AI and its approach to risk offer lessons for organizations looking to simulate real-world scenarios here on Earth.
