On Sunday, SpaceX's Dragon capsule docked at the International Space Station, bringing supplies, experiments including"mighty mice" -- oh, and a friendly robot to keep the astronauts company for the next three years.
CIMON-2 is the next generation of the Crew Interactive Mobile Companion. The robot was built by Airbus at the German Aerospace Center and uses IBM artificial intelligence based on Watson technology. It's designed for human interaction and to help the astronauts with tasks as it autonomously navigates around the European Columbus research module on the space station. In 2018, the first generation of CIMON joined astronauts on the space station.
