The CIMON-2 Robotic Assistant



c3 ai news

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

The CIMON-2 is an artificial intelligence robot designed to provide astronauts with assistance while they are on board 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 has a camera which can take pictures of the environment around it.


It is capable of autonomous flight

The CIMON Robot can interact with astronauts and perform autonomous flight. It has been equipped with ultrasonic sensors that detect incoming objects and obstacles. The sensors will also detect how far CIMON is from an object. These capabilities will enable CIMON to avoid potential hazards.

The CIMON robot is the first free-flying robot to explore the ISS. It was built to be as safe as humanly possible in microgravity. It is programmable because of its spherical shape, which contrasts with the ISS's cluttered environment. This makes it an ideal companion for astronauts.

FAQ

Are there risks associated with AI use?

Of course. There will always be. AI could pose a serious threat to society in general, according experts. Others believe that AI is beneficial and necessary for improving the quality of life.

AI's potential misuse is one of the main concerns. AI could become dangerous if it becomes too powerful. This includes robot overlords and autonomous weapons.

AI could take over jobs. Many fear that robots could replace the workforce. Some people believe artificial intelligence could allow workers to be more focused on their jobs.

For instance, economists have predicted that automation could increase productivity as well as reduce unemployment.


How does AI work?

An artificial neural networks is made up many simple processors called neuron. Each neuron receives inputs from other neurons and processes them using mathematical operations.

The layers of neurons are called layers. Each layer serves a different purpose. The first layer receives raw data, such as sounds and images. Then it passes these on to the next layer, which processes them further. Finally, the output is produced by the final layer.

Each neuron is assigned a weighting value. This value is multiplied with new inputs and added to the total weighted sum of all prior values. If the result exceeds zero, the neuron will activate. It sends a signal down the line telling the next neuron what to do.

This continues until the network's end, when the final results are achieved.


What are the possibilities for AI?

AI has two main uses:

* Prediction – AI systems can make predictions about future events. AI can help a self-driving automobile identify traffic lights so it can stop at the red ones.

* Decision making-AI systems can make our decisions. You can have your phone recognize faces and suggest people to call.


Where did AI get its start?

The idea of artificial intelligence was first proposed by Alan Turing in 1950. He stated that a machine should be able to fool an individual into believing it is talking with another person.

John McCarthy took the idea up and wrote an essay entitled "Can Machines think?" In 1956, McCarthy wrote an essay titled "Can Machines Think?" In it, he described the problems faced by AI researchers and outlined some possible solutions.


How does AI work

It is important to have a basic understanding of computing principles before you can understand how AI works.

Computers store data in memory. They process information based on programs written in code. The computer's next step is determined by the code.

An algorithm is a set or instructions that tells the computer how to accomplish a task. These algorithms are usually written in code.

An algorithm can be considered a recipe. An algorithm can contain steps and ingredients. Each step can be considered a separate instruction. For example, one instruction might say "add water to the pot" while another says "heat the pot until boiling."



Statistics

  • In 2019, AI adoption among large companies increased by 47% compared to 2018, according to the latest Artificial IntelligenceIndex report. (marsner.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)
  • By using BrainBox AI, commercial buildings can reduce total energy costs by 25% and improves occupant comfort by 60%. (analyticsinsight.net)
  • 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)
  • More than 70 percent of users claim they book trips on their phones, review travel tips, and research local landmarks and restaurants. (builtin.com)

How To

How to create an AI program that is simple

A basic understanding of programming is required to create an AI program. Many programming languages are available, but we recommend Python because it's easy to understand, and there are many free online resources like YouTube videos and courses.

Here's how to setup a basic project called Hello World.

You'll first need to open a brand new file. This is done by pressing Ctrl+N on Windows, and Command+N on Macs.

In the box, enter hello world. Press Enter to save the file.

For the program to run, press F5

The program should display Hello World!

But this is only the beginning. If you want to make a more advanced program, check out these tutorials.
