The CIMON-2 Robotic Assistant

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 and the German Aerospace Center are working on the project to design a robotic assistant that will help astronauts complete their research projects in space. It will be equipped to perform simple conversations, record videos, and read experimental procedures.

The CIMON-2 robot can identify objects and people and understand emotions. It comes with eight microphones. One of these microphones is a direction microphone. It also comes with a camera that allows it to capture images of the surrounding world.

It is capable of autonomous flight

The CIMON robot can fly autonomously and interact with astronauts. It is equipped with ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles and objects coming in. The sensors will also detect how far CIMON is from an object. These capabilities will enable CIMON to avoid potential hazards.

The CIMON robotic is the first to fly freely around the ISS. It was designed for safety in a microgravity environment. Its spherical appearance contrasts the boxy environment of the ISS. Its many advantages make it an ideal companion to astronauts.

FAQ

What is the role of AI?

An artificial neural networks is made up many simple processors called neuron. Each neuron takes inputs from other neurons, and then uses mathematical operations to process them.

Layers are how neurons are organized. Each layer has a unique function. The first layer gets raw data such as images, sounds, etc. These are then passed on to the next layer which further processes them. The final layer then produces an output.

Each neuron has an associated weighting value. This value is multiplied when new input arrives and added to all other values. The neuron will fire if the result is higher than zero. It sends a signal up the line, telling the next Neuron what to do.

This process continues until you reach the end of your network. Here are the final results.

Who was the first to create AI?

Alan Turing

Turing was created in 1912. His mother was a nurse and his father was a minister. After being rejected by Cambridge University, he was a brilliant student of mathematics. However, he became depressed. He started playing chess and won numerous tournaments. He returned to Britain in 1945 and worked at Bletchley Park's secret code-breaking centre Bletchley Park. Here he discovered German codes.

He died in 1954.

John McCarthy

McCarthy was born 1928. McCarthy studied math at Princeton University before joining MIT. The LISP programming language was developed there. By 1957 he had created the foundations of modern AI.

He died in 2011.

What is the most recent AI invention

Deep Learning is the most recent AI invention. Deep learning (a type of machine-learning) is an artificial intelligence technique that uses neural network to perform tasks such image recognition, speech recognition, translation and natural language processing. It was invented by Google in 2012.

Google is the most recent to apply deep learning in creating a computer program that could create its own code. This was done using a neural network called "Google Brain," which was trained on a massive amount of data from YouTube videos.

This enabled it to learn how programs could be written for itself.

In 2015, IBM announced that they had created a computer program capable of creating music. Another method of creating music is using neural networks. These are sometimes called NNFM or neural networks for music.

AI is good or bad?

AI is both positive and negative. Positively, AI makes things easier than ever. There is no need to spend hours creating programs to do things like spreadsheets and word processing. Instead, we can ask our computers to perform these functions.

People fear that AI may replace humans. Many people believe that robots will become more intelligent than their creators. This means they could take over jobs.

Is Alexa an AI?

The answer is yes. But not quite yet.

Amazon developed Alexa, which is a cloud-based voice and messaging service. It allows users use their voice to interact directly with devices.

The Echo smart speaker, which first featured Alexa technology, was released. However, since then, other companies have used similar technologies to create their own versions of Alexa.

These include Google Home as well as Apple's Siri and Microsoft Cortana.

What can you do with AI?

AI has two main uses:

* Prediction – AI systems can make predictions about future events. AI can be used to help self-driving cars identify red traffic lights and slow down when they reach them.

* Decision making - Artificial intelligence systems can take decisions for us. Your phone can recognise faces and suggest friends to call.

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)
• 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)
• That's as many of us that have been in that AI space would say, it's about 70 or 80 percent of the work. (finra.org)
• According to the company's website, more than 800 financial firms use AlphaSense, including some Fortune 500 corporations. (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 set up Amazon Echo Dot

Amazon Echo Dot, a small device, connects to your Wi Fi network. It allows you to use voice commands for smart home devices such as lights, fans, thermostats, and more. To listen to music, news and sports scores, all you have to do is say "Alexa". You can ask questions, make calls, send messages, add calendar events, play games, read the news, get driving directions, order food from restaurants, find nearby businesses, check traffic conditions, and much more. Bluetooth speakers or headphones can be used with it (sold separately), so music can be played throughout the house.

An HDMI cable or wireless adapter can be used to connect your Alexa-enabled TV to your Alexa device. For multiple TVs, you can purchase one wireless adapter for your Echo Dot. You can pair multiple Echos together, so they can work together even though they're not physically in the same room.

Follow these steps to set up your Echo Dot

1. Your Echo Dot should be turned off
2. The Echo Dot's Ethernet port allows you to connect it to your Wi Fi router. Make sure that the power switch is off.
3. Open the Alexa app for your tablet or phone.
4. Select Echo Dot among the devices.
5. Select Add New Device.
6. Choose Echo Dot among the options in the drop-down list.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions.
8. When prompted enter the name of the Echo Dot you want.
9. Tap Allow access.
10. Wait until the Echo Dot has successfully connected to your Wi-Fi.
