CIMON-2 (a followup to the experimental CIMON Robot) is a new version.
The CIMON-2 robotic assistant is an artificial intelligent robot that provides assistance to astronauts while on board the International Space Station. Airbus, IBM and the German Aerospace Center are working on the project to design a robotic assistant that will help astronauts complete their research projects in space. It will be capable of reading experimental procedures, recording videos and conversing with astronauts.
The CIMON-2 bot is capable of identifying people, objects, or emotions. The robot is equipped with eight microphones including a directional microphone that can be used to recognize voice commands. The robot has a camera which can take pictures of the environment around it.
It has autonomous flight capabilities
The CIMON robot can fly autonomously and interact with astronauts. It is equipped to detect and track incoming objects as well as obstacles. The sensors can also determine the distance between CIMON (or an object) and that object. These capabilities can help CIMON avoid potential hazards.
The CIMON robotic is the first to fly freely around the ISS. It was designed to be as safe as possible in a microgravity environment. Its spherical form contrasts well with the ISS's boxy environment. It has many advantages, making it an ideal companion of astronauts.
FAQ
What are some examples of AI applications?
AI can be applied in many areas such as finance, healthcare manufacturing, transportation, energy and education. Here are a few examples.
-
Finance - AI can already detect fraud in banks. AI can detect suspicious activity in millions of transactions each day by scanning them.
-
Healthcare – AI is used for diagnosing diseases, spotting cancerous cells, as well as recommending treatments.
-
Manufacturing - AI can be used in factories to increase efficiency and lower costs.
-
Transportation – Self-driving cars were successfully tested in California. They are being tested across the globe.
-
Utilities can use AI to monitor electricity usage patterns.
-
Education - AI is being used in education. Students can, for example, interact with robots using their smartphones.
-
Government - AI is being used within governments to help track terrorists, criminals, and missing people.
-
Law Enforcement-Ai is being used to assist police investigations. Search databases that contain thousands of hours worth of CCTV footage can be searched by detectives.
-
Defense - AI is being used both offensively and defensively. It is possible to hack into enemy computers using AI systems. Protect military bases from cyber attacks with AI.
What is AI used today?
Artificial intelligence (AI), which is also known as natural language processing, artificial agents, neural networks, expert system, etc., is an umbrella term. It's also known as smart machines.
Alan Turing created the first computer program in 1950. His interest was in computers' ability to think. He suggested an artificial intelligence test in "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," his paper. This test examines whether a computer can converse with a person using a computer program.
John McCarthy introduced artificial intelligence in 1956 and created the term "artificial Intelligence" through his article "Artificial Intelligence".
Many AI-based technologies exist today. Some are simple and straightforward, while others require more effort. They can range from voice recognition software to self driving cars.
There are two main types of AI: rule-based AI and statistical AI. Rule-based uses logic for making decisions. An example of this is a bank account balance. It would be calculated according to rules like: $10 minimum withdraw $5. Otherwise, deposit $1. Statistics are used for making decisions. To predict what might happen next, a weather forecast might examine historical data.
What is the future role of AI?
The future of artificial intelligent (AI), however, is not in creating machines that are smarter then us, but in creating systems which learn from experience and improve over time.
Also, machines must learn to learn.
This would enable us to create algorithms that teach each other through example.
We should also consider the possibility of designing our own learning algorithms.
Most importantly, they must be able to adapt to any situation.

- The company's AI team trained an image recognition model to 85 percent accuracy using billions of public Instagram photos tagged with hashtags. (builtin.com)
- Additionally, keeping in mind the current crisis, the AI is designed in a manner where it reduces the carbon footprint by 20-40%. (analyticsinsight.net)
- According to the company's website, more than 800 financial firms use AlphaSense, including some Fortune 500 corporations. (builtin.com)
- In 2019, AI adoption among large companies increased by 47% compared to 2018, according to the latest Artificial IntelligenceIndex report. (marsner.com)
- In the first half of 2017, the company discovered and banned 300,000 terrorist-linked accounts, 95 percent of which were found by non-human, artificially intelligent machines. (builtin.com)

How To
How do I start using AI?
You can use artificial intelligence by creating algorithms that learn from past mistakes. This allows you to learn from your mistakes and improve your future decisions.
You could, for example, add a feature that suggests words to complete your sentence if you are writing a text message. It would learn from past messages and suggest similar phrases for you to choose from.
However, it is necessary to train the system to understand what you are trying to communicate.
Chatbots are also available to answer questions. If you ask the bot, "What hour does my flight depart?" The bot will answer, "The next one leaves at 8:30 am."
