JAPANESE SPACE ROBOT KIROBO
The japanese Robot KIROBO was designed to send in space to keep entertaining astronauts.
Kirobo is Japan's first robot astronaut, developed by University of Tokyo and Tomotaka Takahashi, to accompany Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese commander of the International Space Station. Kirobo arrived on the ISS on August 10, 2013 on JAXA's H-II Transfer Vehicle Kounotori 4, an unmanned resupply spacecraft launched August 4, 2013 from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center. A twin to Kirobo, named Mirata, was created with the same characteristics. Mirata will stay on Earth as a backup crew member.
Kirobo was developed by a collaborative effort between Dentsu, the University of Tokyo's Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, Robo Garage, Toyota, and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). The University of Tokyo and Robo Garage worked on the robot hardware and motion generation,
the voice recognition system installed in the robot is designed by toyota and the VoiceText of Hoya Service provided by speech synthesis.
FEATURES AND CONTENT
Kirobo is approximately 34 cm (13 in) tall, 18 cm (7.1 in) wide and 15 cm (5.9 in) deep. It weighs about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) and speaks Japanese.
The robot's capabilities include voice and speech recognition which is so sick, natural language processing, speech synthesis and telecommunications, as well as facial recognition and video recording. Kirobo is specially designed to navigate zero-gravity environments and will assist and help Commander Wakata in various experiments. Its main goal is to see how well robots and humans can interact,
Our technology is far beyond our imagination and its the japan that is taking our robotics part to next level.
With time we will witness humanoid robot all around us.hopefully leading the way to robots taking more active roles in assisting astronauts on missions.
WORLD RECORD RECOGNITION
tHE journey to space a robot boy Kirobo set two Guinness World Records after it returned to Japan, following an 18-month stay on board the Internatironal Space Station

- First companion robot in space
- Highest altitude for a robot to have a conversation
Kirobo was sent off to the ISS on a H-2B rocket and carried by the Kounotori 4 cargo spacecraft from Tanegashima Space Center in Japan a few weeks earlier.
The 13"-tall robot which weighs 2.2lbs, conducted experiments in space through verbal orders from Wakata and by remote-control from earth ahead of Wakata's arrival to the space station.
CONCLUSION
We can say future is near.The humans and robots/Ai/humoid are bonding step by step with us.As stephen Hawking predicted near some what between coming 100 years Robots will take over us.I am not sure how much stephen hawking theories for robotics are valid .We dont want movies like terminator and irobot get active in real life dont we.
But for that we have enough time to think and buid our society with ecofriendly robots helping us in need.
