Company summary:
AIKO is a deep-tech company founded in 2017 and based in Torino, Italy, specialised in Artificial Intelligence and Automation technologies for space applications. We deliver state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence solutions for flight and ground software to enable autonomous space missions.
AIKO has received several awards and mentions throughout its history, recognising our incredible innovation potential and traction. Finally, AIKO has been the first European company to have demonstrated Deep Learning algorithms in orbit, achieving TRL 9 for payload data processing algorithms in 2019.
AIKO business focus is developing Artificial Intelligence software for space applications, targeting in particular, automation of operations, support to operators and advanced mission autonomy. Key areas of expertise are Machine and Deep Learning, Knowledge-Based Systems and embedded software design applied to space missions in autonomous decision-making, payload data information extraction, failure detection, and mission replanning.
Technology/expertise for ENLIGHTEN project:
AIKO is a company that commercialises artificial intelligence-based technologies for upstream space applications. AIKO has developed a time-series analysis technology based on Machine Learning to detect anomalies and novelties in space-related telemetry streams. AIKO has also created a Machine Learning-based optimisation and deployment framework that optimises Machine Learning algorithms when deployed in an embedded target. Such heritage will be crucial for developing software for the reusable Ariane launcher’s transient start-up phase under the ENLIGHTEN project. Specifically, AIKO will provide machine learning capabilities to detect failures and emit alerts during the chamber or gas generator’s transient from at rest to fully ignited.
AIKO is convinced that artificial intelligence techniques will enable the next generation of launchers, making space more sustainable. The ENLIGHTEN project ensures that AIKO will continue to advance its heritage in health monitoring technology but also forging new partnerships and solidifying its position as a trailblazer in AI for space in the EU.
