The final combination experiment was conducted at JAXA’s Tsukuba Space Center over the course of three days. Until now, all the tests have been cleared, but this one will be roundup. All the actions and sound recognition for the robot to operate in space were affirmed.

This is the dress rehearsal, so to speak. We checked the actions and also simulated downloading the audio visual of what KIROBO saw in space.

There were many troubles along the way which made the staff members nervous, but KIROBO relieved the tension in a cute way by talking, responding to the voices of the staff. After fixing the minor troubles, the final tests were cleared. Finally, it is ready to journey into space!
