Pepper – the emotional robot

 

Imagine a robot which can tell how you feel just by listening to the sound of your voice and looking at your body language. Meet Pepper, the ‘social robot’, which can understand human emotions!

 

Pepper was created by a French company called Aldebaran in 2014. It went on sale in Japan in 2015 and in the USA the following year.

 

Pepper is a humanoid robot. This means that it looks a bit like a person. It is 1.2 m tall with a head and two arms, and two wheels to move around. Its head has got four microphones and two HD cameras which allow it to navigate and connect with people. Pepper can understand 20 languages and it knows if it’s talking to a man, woman or child. It can also understand how a person is feeling by the tone of their voice and their body language. And if you’re feeling sad, it tries to make you happy! It can tell you a joke, sing a song and even dance to cheer you up!

 

Some hospitals use Pepper to greet new patients and walk with them to the correct department. Also, it can cheer up sick children and help them do their physical exercises!

 

The inventors of Pepper are always creating new software to improve the robot. They also say that Pepper itself has the ability to learn over time! So, who knows what Pepper will think of next to put a smile on our faces!

WANT IT? PRINT IT!
The wheel on your little brother's favourite toy car has broken, and he's very upset. You're not worried, though. You just take some pictures, load them into your 3D printer and in short time, the new part is sitting in your hand.
3D printers are machines that print objects. Believe it or not, the first 3D printer was invented way back in 1984, and in 1993, the first 3D printing company was set up! Since 2004,3D printers have reached a price and size that allows almost anybody to own one, and in 2018, over half a million were sold.
3D printers work in a similar way to the old computer printer, which shot tiny jets of ink onto paper to make words. Instead of ink, however,3D printers shoot plastic, metal, wax or another material that hardens instantly. By adding thousands of layers,the 3D shape is slowly made.
People are using their 3D printers to make any object you can imagine, from jewellery to beautiful ornaments. Sports companies are using them to make boots and trainers that perfectly fit athletes' feet. But 3D printers can have a more serious use-one that might save your lifel Doctors are using them to create medical implants. for example bones and joints that exactly match the patients. This makes surgery easier and recovery faster.
3D printers are developing all the time, and are becoming the piece of technology every home should have. And soon, who knows-you might be able to print one yourself.
