Young scientist Li Yuehua works at Zhejiang Lab(之江实验室) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. There is something special about the lab— as Li enters it, she feels out of this world. It brings her to one of the earth's closest neighbors: Mars.
The lab simulates(模拟) the environment, such as the ground and light, on the red planet. In the lab, Li and her team develop and test AI technology to make future Mars rovers(火星车) smarter.
Zhurong, China's first Mars rover, got to Mars in 2021. As Zhurong moves on Mars, it sends information back to the earth. The ground team checks the information before it can move on. The process can take up to 40 minutes.
" Today's rovers are like babies. They can perceive what's around them but they're not able to understand them. Scientists on the earth must tell them how to communicate with the environment," said Li." We hope our AI technology will help Mars rovers learn about the environment and decide where to go on their own."
Li's team needed a better place to do that. Is there anywhere similar to Mars on the earth? The answer was found in the deep desert of Dunhuang, Gansu Province. The team went there in summer and soon started to work. However, it was so hot that several machines stopped working and some team members got sick. Although it was really hard, they didn't give up. Finally, the team developed a better technology.
" An important part of science is facing failure(失败)," Li said." It is like climbing. You face difficulties and try to solve them time after time."
