As of Nov 23, Toyota's incredibly smart and very cute robot – that wants nothing more than to be your friend – is officially on sale at all Toyota dealerships across Japan.
When it was first unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, the Kirobo Mini companion robot was one of the strangest and most outlandish concepts on display from any carmaker. At just 10cm tall when seated in the palm of its owner's hand, the cute robot – akin to a favourite stuffed toy – was pitched by Toyota as a digital communication partner conceived to keep people company and feeling connected by interacting with them via facial expressions and gestures. And the reason that it was so small was that it would be easier for adults to take with them to keep them happy as they went about their daily routines.
