Toyota Reveals the Kirobo Mini, A Small Baby-Like Robot Companion

Toyota has revealed the Kirobo Mini, a small baby-like robot companion that interacts with its human hosts. The robot speaks and moves like a young baby, and comes with a case that opens up into a car seat that fits into a car's cup holder.

The robot is a smaller version of the Kirobo robot that was sent to the International Space Station in 2013 to accompany Japanese astronaut Kochi Wakata.
