136. World's first talking robot astronaut.



Japan is to send a talking robot astronaut to space.  The humanoid talking robot astronaut, called Kirobo talks with humans.  The robots are not big, but the idea is huge.  Kiboro is the world's first conversation between robots and humans.

Kirobo is about 34 cm tall and weighs about 1 kg, which makes it more shorter than the robots that go to space.  The talking robot was developed by the University of Tokyo, Toyota and Dentsu Inc.  Kirobo is set to be launched from the Tanegashima Space Center on August 4 2013.
