Robot astronaut Kirobo has become the first robot ever to speak in space. The historic first words in space reflected the importance of Kirobo's 18-month long mission: "On August 21, 2013, a robot took one small step towards a brighter future for all."

Kirobo and his earth-bound mission counterpart, Mirata, are two humanoid communication robots developed under the Kibo Robot Proejct, a joint research project between Dentsu Inc., University of Tokyo's Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology, Robo Garage Co., and Toyota Motor Corporation. The project is also extensively assisted by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
