The International Space Station had its first robot with artificial intelligence, with berries, ice cream and identical brown mice.
The SpaceX capsule reached the station three days after the launch of Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Station astronaut Ricky Arnold used a large mechanical arm to catch the Dragon capsule while the spaceship was flying over Quebec
The delivery of nearly 2,700 kilograms includes the round robot Cimon (pronounced Simon). Slightly larger than a basketball, the AI robot of the German Space Agency is destined to badist German astronaut Alexander Gerst in scientific experiments. Cimon's brain will be constantly updated by IBM so that its intelligence – and its role – continues to grow.

There are also genetically identical mice for a study on intestinal bacteria, and super caffeinated coffee aboard the Dragon to go with fresh blueberries and ice cream.
Arnold told Mission Control a few minutes after catching the Dragon.
When he was informed that it was the 30th freighter to be captured by the station's robotic arm. It's hard to believe how much we've arrived: it's an accomplishment.
Most of these ships were provided by private US companies hired by NASA to keep the space station fully stocked.
Mission Control stated that it was appropriate that the last capture took place in Quebec; The station's robot arm is Canada's contribution
In addition to Gerst, the 400-kilometer laboratory houses three Americans and two Russians.
