Digital Companion

Space exploration is a sector where robotics and artificial intelligence have been used for several decades to improve research and astronaut work efficiency. However, astronauts are humans with emotional needs. The crew is small, and the distance from Earth makes communication challenging, limiting connections with family and friends and leading to feelings of isolation. Being away from people for extended periods of time can significantly impact an astronaut's mental health and well-being, so having a digital companion can help alleviate feelings of loneliness.

The French national space agency, CNES, has partnered with SPooN to create "AI-4U," an interactive character that serves as a personal assistant to astronauts during long missions, providing them with a sense of social connection and support. AI-4U is interactive, sympathetic, and expressive, and also provides many applications intended to help operators of control centers, such as data analysis.
