![]() "We not only examine patients in intensive care units, but also people exposed to extreme stress and workload as a result of their environment, such as polar explorers in the Antarctic and astronauts on the International Space Station," reports Buchheim, adding: "Our studies show that being subjected to microgravity for a certain period can significantly affect the functioning of an astronaut's immune system. During a variety of research projects, Buchheim and Choukèr are investigating the effects of stress on the human immune system. With CIMON, we are entering new territory and operating at the threshold of technological feasibility."ĬIMON also has a scientific background its advisors are Judith-Irina Buchheim and Alexander Choukèr from the Department of Anaesthesiology at the Ludwig-Maximilian University Hospital in Munich. Ideally, the astronauts could use their time better and more effectively. It is intended to show to what extent the astronauts' work can be supported in the European Columbus module on the ISS and relieve them, in particular, of routine tasks. "We have implemented this experiment in a very short time. "CIMON is globally unique in this form," summarises Christian Karrasch, CIMON Project Manager at the DLR Space Administration in Bonn. An approximately 50-strong DLR, Airbus, IBM and LMU project team has been working on implementing CIMON since August 2016. The human aspects of the assistance system were co-developed and supervised by scientists at Ludwig-Maximilian University Hospital in Munich (Klinikum der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, LMU). Watson AI technology from the IBM Cloud provides voice-controlled artificial intelligence. The interactive astronaut assistant was developed and built by Airbus in Friedrichshafen and Bremen on behalf of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt DLR) Space Administration and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie BMWi). ![]() From summer 2018, CIMON will become the new 'crew member' on the International Space Station ( ISS), in order to demonstrate cooperation between humans and intelligent machines in the form of a technology experiment.
