Designers in JAPAN have built a robot which they hope to send to space . The talking robot, called Kirobo, has developed to help astronauts working whilst in orbit .
Yorichika Nishijima, who worked on the project, said - ' Russians were the first to go to space . Americans were the first to land on the moon . '
And he wants Japan to be the first to send a communication robot astronaut to space . If all goes to plan, Kirobo will join other astronauts on International Space Station .
