AI-Companion In Space

It’s always good to have some help – especially when you’re going into space. Today, CIMON, a mobile astronaut assistance system, is going to be launched into space to accompany German astronaut Alexander Gerst on his second 6-month mission to the International Space Station. Developed by Airbus and IBM for the German Aerospace Center, CIMON (which stands for Crew Interactive Mobile Companion) is enabled by Watson. Using IBM’s Watson technology, CIMON will help Gerst perform certain tasks and experiments. CIMON can also potentially serve as an early warning system for any technical issues on board. The duo is one more example of what man + machine can do.
