According to a latest report, the first ever humanoid robot talked with a Japanese astronaut in space and admitted that it is completely comfortable even in zero-gravity on the International Space Station.
Sources have revealed that a footage has been released by the robot's developers, which shows that Kirobo is successfully performing its first mission on the station. Its first mission, according to sources, was to talk to the Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata. This mission was also a part of an experiment to test Kirobo's autonomous conversation functions.
It has been revealed by scientists that Kirobo, which is the first humanoid robot to be sent into the space, is doing a very good job there and is also entertaining the astronauts to a great extent.
The robot was the first to have been sent in the space and it had to wait for the astronaut Koichi Wakata to arrive after that. Before the arrival of the astronaut, the robot was unable to practice his conversation skills in the space.
The robot named Kirobo has been programmed in a specific manner in order to process what is exactly being said to him and it is also able to build sentences to talk back.
According to sources, when the robot was asked by the astronaut that how it is feeling in the space, the robot replied, "I'm used to it now, no problem at all".
