“Kirobo the robot” will make history when it takes off for the International Space Station (ISS) in August to participate in a human interaction experiment.
The robot has been jointly developed by the Kibo Robot Project; a joint venture which includes Toyota, the University of Tokyo and three other groups.
The joint venture is hoping to conduct the first ever robot-to-human conversation in space in an experiment focusing on future robot companionship and assistance for elderly people living alone.
