Rightttttt...

And those ingenious Japs also make some realistic sex dolls that can also speak, so which would an astronaut prefer on a 2 year journey to Mars?

he robot will be designed to "help solve social problems through communication".

Just what I've always wanted:

A Japanese love doll with OnStar.

In this PC world, they will realize that the “created” humanoid will not have companionship of his own kind. So they will make a militant femanist version to keep the humanoid company. The original will “discover” that it is gay, and the astronaut will lock himself in his room to be away from the 2 of them.

Can't believe nobody has posted a reference to Galexina yet.

If I had to travel in space for two years I would rather be connected to a virtual realty program that would allow my dreams to have substance, sure a physical object would something handy to keep around, sort of like a fancy digital torque wrench from Snapon that interfaces through your Android phone.

It will then have the ability to communicate with the astronaut in Japanese and take photographs during their stay on the space station.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really see the utility in a robot that speaks Japanese.

On a more serious note, I wonder that the Japanese don't seem as affected by the uncanny valley as Westerners. I've always found dolls and mannekins incredibly creepy; when they're animated, the creepiness goes up a few fold. Yet I see Japanese crowding around these ghastly things as if they were as cute and cuddly as little bunnies. How humanlike will this robot be, in the end?

Is his nick name "Chuckie" ?

How about an anatomically correct female/male robot for zero G sexcapades? Like the 1973 movie “Westworld” but without the homicidal gunfighter [Yul Brynner] that goes about blowing away the human guests.
