CIMON, the world’s first AI-powered astronaut assistant, returned to the International Space Station—this time with a heightened ability to analyze human emotion paid IBM
The objective, according to the researchers who fine-tuned the robot after its first successful mission aboard the spacecraft, is to transform CIMON from a scientific assistant into “an empathetic companion.”
CIMON, which stands for Crew Interactive Mobile Companion, was developed to help astronauts with their many tasks and research activities. The voice-controlled floating robot, which operates with a slight smile on its screen face, can display instructions and record images during an experiment. It can read from manuals and give conversational responses.
CIMON-2 goes a step further with its ability to evaluate emotions—what Biniok calls emotional intelligence. In the future, CIMON may empathically respond to situations as appropriate based on its analysis.
