Artificial intelligence, combined with aerospace technology, has created a voice-commanded, autonomous robot named CIMON, according to Engadget. Short for Crew Interactive Mobile Companion, the device is being used on the International Space Station to help astronauts onboard. Companies like IBM, which developed the AI, are analyzing the robot's performance for future development. The robot, which can fly on its own within the station, was carried into orbit by private company SpaceX in June.
