Japanese Space Robot

Japan will soon be sending a small talking robot to ISS.  This particular robot is designed to carry on conversations, only in Japanese, read the emotions of its human interlocutor, etc., but it can only interact with one man, who will also be flying to ISS later this year.

Whatever the limitations of this first model, Japan argues this effort will be the beginning of a human-robot partnership that will be essential in deep space missions.
