Space Entry to Launch Haro Robot on ISS for Autonomous Robotics Research
Space Entry aims to deploy the Haro robot on the ISS to study autonomous robotics in space. The project will commence with a crowdfunding campaign set for April 14, targeting 3 million yen (approximately $19,000).

Space Entry plans to send the Haro robot, known as 'Minna no Haro,' to the International Space Station's Japanese Experiment Module, Kibō. Designed by a mechanical designer, the aluminum robot measures 210 mm in diameter and weighs 4.5 kg.
It features internal propellers for 360-degree movement, cameras for monitoring, and microphones for communication with Japanese astronauts. This initiative will mark several firsts: the first autonomous robot by a private company in space, the first to utilize Zephyr OS, and the first capable of interactive communication. Potential risks include the challenges of deploying autonomous systems in the unique environment of space.
