An AI robotic developed to assist astronauts will release to the International Space Station early Friday.

The robotic– the Crew Interactive Mobile Companion (CIMON)– appears like a ball with a screen including a friendly animation face to help his connects with German astronaut Alexander Gerst, whom he will assist carry out experiments.

He was established by Airbus and IBM, which developed his Watson AI, and weighs around 11 pounds (5 kg).

CIMON will deal with 3 times Gerst on 3 jobs throughout the objective, according to Airbus, where the robotic will offer spoken directions. They will try out crystals, interact to fix a Rubik’s cube and carry out an intricate medical experiment where CIMON will serve as a smart flying electronic camera– amounting to around 3 hours of work overall.

CIMON will be carried on Space X’s Falcon 9 as part of a supply objective and will remove from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 5: 42 a.m. ETFriday The Dragon supply pill ought to come to the ISS around 7 a.m. ET Monday.

The launch is viewable on NASA TELEVISION or by means of Space X’s webcast.

“What we’re trying to do with CIMON is to increase the efficiency of the astronaut,” Matthias Biniok, an IBM engineer among the the robotics’s lead designers, informed Reuters.

“Right now our main mission is to support the astronauts with their daily tasks to save time, because time is the most valuable and most expensive thing on the ISS.”

Also on board will be a brand-new Latching End Effector (LEE) “hand” for Canadarm2– among Canadian Space Agency’s LEEs stopped working in 2015 and the supply objective consists of a replacement
