NASA and M2Mi Corporation have agreed to work together to develop automated ‘machine-to-machine (M2M) intelligence’ for space missions.

To help enable machines to make choices and efficiently communicate with one another without human intervention,

and M2Mi Corporation have agreed to work together to develop automated ‘machine-to-machine (M2M) intelligence.’

An agreement between NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, and M2Mi Corporation calls for the two organisations to cooperate to evolve ‘automated M2M intelligence’ for space missions. A satellite that would repair itself in low orbit is an example of how the new, automated M2M intelligence could be used in the very near future.

‘We are delighted to cooperate with the M2Mi Corporation to develop automated intelligence for computers, spacecraft and robots so they can ‘mind-meld,’ enabling them to make their own decisions,’ said S. Pete Worden, director of NASA Ames, who recently signed the agreement. ‘In turn, M2Mi intends to spin off automated intelligent software to industry to help make business and factories more efficient,’ Worden said.
