Or since the robot speaks Japanese, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say Konichiwa.


Kibo Robot Project Site

The Kibo robot has a special mission:
To help solve the problems brought about by a society that has become more individualized and less communicative.
Nowaday, more and more people are living alone.
It's not just the elderly -- with today's changing lifestyles, it's people of all ages.
With a new style of robot-human interface, perhaps a way to solve this problem could be found.
This is the goal we have in mind for this project.
--Kibo Robot Project


On 4 August, Kirobo will be taken by the Japan Space Agency on a trip to the International Space Station, where he will hold the first human-robot conversation in space. Link

On August 29, Skynet becomes self-aware?

Not your cellphone, silly.

Your car. Toyota is providing some kind of backing...better than Ford and Microsoft, I guess.
