Could a robot chemist create oxygen on Mars using AI?

If humans are ever to build settlements on Mars, they will need oxygen, to breathe, but also to allow rocket fuels to burn, to allow for return missions. But oxygen makes up only a tiny percentage of the Martian atmosphere, and transporting oxygen there from Earth is not a practical solution. Instead scientists have pinned their hopes on generating oxygen on the red planet, and this new robotic chemist aims to do just that. Powered by AI, it autonomously creates catalysts using locally sourced materials, capable of producing as much oxygen as a tree.

Wow, cyberpunk reallity seemed far away I guess we're already there

[@sunflowerz54]

Well it might be faster than Terra forming for. Thousand years !!

[@user-bp8yg3ko1r]

So fascinating!

[@israrisrar3800]

Can it create catalyst to break down plastic?

[@footfault1941]

How great stromatolites were!

Can AI unscrew a lightbulb with a melon?

[@primenumberbuster404]

Can your 6 month baby do it? Ai learns like a baby now.

[@master.arts.by.mohit.]

Why not if you make a shape like screw on melon

Any thing good can be achieved by man, includes advancing AI to help us realize GOD or GOODNESS (SPIRIT, Eternal)

[@footfault1941]

Total recall!

[@edison1]

so inspirational

Who will keep it supplying acids and alkalies from earth?

[@peterchu486]

The acids and bases used in the experiment can be prepared by electrolysis of Martian brine (NaCl, for example), and this technology has been well established on Earth for a long time, so I think the raw materials and processing chemicals used can be obtained from Mars!

[@azimali322]

This is nuts. There are so many applications to this for chemical reactions on earth as well!

[@gloriaelmore9092]

I sometimes wonder, why we are so eager to "escape " Earth. We will only make the same mistakes there we have made here, ruining another planet. Shouldn't we seek to be changed before we seek to carry to another place our failures, and repeat them again?

[@Greenery_Vibes]

Wow its awesome

[@marchelandersen6839]

old idea from dr. robert zurbin . see project . Mars direct . we could be going . just have to test the van-hallen-belt

[@Majoofi]

No
