COSMIC：感情認識AIエージェントによる極限環境下でのメンタルヘルス支援

As humanity pivots toward long-duration interplanetary travel, the psychological constraints of Isolated and Confined Environments (ICE) emerge as a primary mission risk. This paper presents COSMIC (COmpanion System for Mission Interaction and Communication) representing the inaugural investigation into the deployment of a high-fidelity, emotionally intelligent AI companion in an analog astronaut setting. By integrating a Large Language Model (LLM) architecture with a diffusion-based digital avatar interface, COSMIC transcends traditional task-oriented automation to provide longitudinal affective support. We detail a modular system architecture designed for temporal continuity through short- and long-term memory systems and outline a robust naturalistic observational framework for evaluating psychological resilience at the LunAres Research Station. This work constitutes the first formal submission in the field to evaluate the efficacy of state-of-the-art generative AI and synthesized visual empathy in mitigating the effects of extreme isolation.
