Project CIMON (Crew Interactive Mobile Companion) is an AI-powered floating robot currently being tested aboard the International Space Station. Designed to assist astronauts hands‑free, Cimon can retrieve documents, guide procedures, or record experiments via voice control, reducing reliance on manuals and saving time . It also serves as a mobile camera and personal training aid. Jointly developed by Airbus, IBM (Watson AI), and Germany’s DLR, Cimon’s objectives include minimizing stress, improving efficiency, and testing human‑AI interaction for long-duration missions . Observations from the pilot deployment will help shape future AI companions for space and Earth applications. (PC: NASA)
