SpaceX launched a floating, talking Watson head to the space station

SpaceX launched a Dragon cargo ship toward the International Space Station on Friday.

In addition to supplies, the spaceship will deliver an artificially intelligent robotic head to astronauts.

The 11-pound robot is called Crew Interactive Mobile Companion (CIMON).

CIMON can fly around and will use IBM Watson software to talk with an animated face and interact with astronauts.
