No 9 Kirobo
The 34-cm high robot astronaut, born in the University of Tokyo's Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, was announced as the first robot that was able to speak in outer space. The talking robot was set to be employed as 'companion' to Japanese astronaut Kochi Wakata, who is expected to take command of the ISS later last year.
