AI agents analyze radio signals at SETI Allen Telescope Array
Original title: AI agents take over at SETI's Allen Telescope Array, scanning for extraterrestrial intelligence
Nvidia Holoscan platform lets AI agents process telescope data in real time, detecting a pulsar in the Crab Nebula.
AI agents at the Allen Telescope Array use Nvidia's Holoscan platform to steer the telescope and analyze incoming radio signals on the fly. The system processes up to 2.4 terabits per second, reducing data analysis from weeks to hours. Researchers detected a pulsar in the Crab Nebula in real time. The team plans to test open-source AI for edge computing on future sensors, such as those on the Moon.

The SETI Institute and Breakthrough Listen are now using AI agents at the Allen Telescope Array to control the telescope and analyze incoming radio signals. Tasks that used to take weeks can now wrap up in hours, and the team says the system detected a pulsar in the Crab Nebula in real time for the first time.
