The CIMON-2 Robotic Assistant

By Peter Kompton 22 May, 2023 1 mins read

CIMON-2, a followup robot to the experimental CIMON robot, is called CIMON-2.

The CIMON-2 artificial intelligence robot was designed to assist astronauts while aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Airbus, IBM, the German Aerospace Center and others are working to design a robotic assistant for astronauts. It will be able to read experimental procedures, record videos, and have simple conversations with astronauts.

The CIMON-2 robotic can recognize and identify humans, objects, emotions, and other things. It comes with eight microphones. One of these microphones is a direction microphone. The robot also has a camera that can be used to take images of the world around it.

It has autonomous flight capabilities

The CIMON bot can perform autonomous flight and interact directly with astronauts. It is equipped by ultrasonic sensors, which can detect objects and obstacles. The sensors will also detect the distance between CIMON and an object. These capabilities will allow CIMON to avoid potential dangers.

The CIMON robotic is the first to fly freely around the ISS. It was built to be as safe as humanly possible in microgravity. Its spherical form contrasts well with the ISS's boxy environment. This makes it an excellent companion for astronauts.

FAQ

What are some examples AI apps?

AI can be applied in many areas such as finance, healthcare manufacturing, transportation, energy and education. Here are just some examples:

Finance - AI is already helping banks to detect fraud. AI can spot suspicious activity in transactions that exceed millions.
Healthcare - AI can be used to spot cancerous cells and diagnose diseases.
Manufacturing - AI in factories is used to increase efficiency, and decrease costs.
Transportation - Self Driving Cars have been successfully demonstrated in California. They are currently being tested around the globe.
Utilities use AI to monitor patterns of power consumption.
Education - AI is being used for educational purposes. Students can interact with robots by using their smartphones.
Government - AI can be used within government to track terrorists, criminals, or 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. For defense purposes, AI systems can be used for cyber security to protect military bases.

What does AI do?

An algorithm is a set of instructions that tells a computer how to solve a problem. An algorithm can be described in a series of steps. Each step is assigned a condition which determines when it should be executed. Each instruction is executed sequentially by the computer until all conditions have been met. This repeats until the final outcome is reached.

For example, suppose you want the square root for 5. You could write down every single number between 1 and 10, calculate the square root for each one, and then take the average. You could instead use the following formula to write down:

sqrt(x) x^0.5

You will need to square the input and divide it by 2 before multiplying by 0.5.

The same principle is followed by a computer. It takes your input, squares it, divides by 2, multiplies by 0.5, adds 1, subtracts 1, and finally outputs the answer.

Which industries use AI the most?

The automotive sector is among the first to adopt AI. BMW AG uses AI for diagnosing car problems, Ford Motor Company uses AI for self-driving vehicles, and General Motors uses AI in order to power its autonomous vehicle fleet.

Other AI industries include insurance, banking, healthcare, retail and telecommunications.

Statistics

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)
According to the company's website, more than 800 financial firms use AlphaSense, including some Fortune 500 corporations. (builtin.com)
While all of it is still what seems like a far way off, the future of this technology presents a Catch-22, able to solve the world's problems and likely to power all the A.I. systems on earth, but also incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. (forbes.com)
A 2021 Pew Research survey revealed that 37 percent of respondents who are more concerned than excited about AI had concerns including job loss, privacy, and AI's potential to “surpass human skills.” (builtin.com)
By using BrainBox AI, commercial buildings can reduce total energy costs by 25% and improves occupant comfort by 60%. (analyticsinsight.net)

How To

How to Setup Google Home

Google Home, an artificial intelligence powered digital assistant, can be used to answer questions and perform other tasks. It uses sophisticated algorithms and natural language processing to answer your questions and perform tasks such as controlling smart home devices, playing music, making phone calls, and providing information about local places and things. Google Assistant allows you to do everything, from searching the internet to setting timers to creating reminders. These reminders will then be sent directly to your smartphone.

Google Home can be integrated seamlessly with Android phones. By connecting an iPhone or iPad to a Google Home over WiFi, you can take advantage of features like Apple Pay, Siri Shortcuts, and third-party apps that are optimized for Google Home.

Google Home offers many useful features like every Google product. Google Home can remember your routines so it can follow them. It doesn't need to be told how to change the temperature, turn on lights, or play music when you wake up. Instead, you can say "Hey Google" to let it know what your needs are.

These are the steps you need to follow in order to set up Google Home.
