A Japanese rocket – bound for the International Space Station – has blasted off with a very special onboard. It is not only carrying supplies, but a talking humanoid robot as well.
Kirobo is the first piece of technology of its kind to visit the floating laboratory.
The mission of the robot, which has a double called the Mirata, is to be a companion for a Japanese astronaut aboard the space station.
Kirobo speaks Japanese, records conversations and will play a role in some missions.
