Nowadays technological progress has greatly increased, and it has helped people to improve their lifestyle a lot. In our daily life we use different gadgets such as mobile phones, tablets, computers and many others. We believe that there will be more robots in the nearest future.
On 3rd February, our class visited an interactive exhibition called “Robotu balle” . There were robots from many countries such as England, Latvia, Russia, Japan and others.
One of the robots we liked was a robot Paro from Japan. It was made in the image of a baby seal and acted like an animal. Paro responded to being stroked. When we patted Paro, it wagged its tail, opened and closed its eyes just like a real pet!
Another fascinating robot was a robot Pushkin. It was a robot head that looked like real Pushkin. He could see, hear, open mouth, express emotions and recite poems. It would be great if we had a literature class taught by A. Pushkin himself!
Moreover, we saw an exciting dancing show of five Robobuilders from South Korea. We talked to a robot called Thespian. He came from the UK, spoke forty languages, read Shakespeare, moved parts of the body and expressed emotions.
There was also an example of 3D printer created in Latvia. It was a great tool to make vases, toys and other items. Another robot from Latvia was a virtual assistant Laura who spoke English and told about landmarks in Riga.
We were amazed by the robots’ constructions that were very complicated and had many mechanical items, microphones and cameras.
We enjoyed the exhibition “Robotu balle” as it was an incredible experience.
We are completely sure that robots are our future!
