22. Audio Script
Listen to a radio programme about a robot exhibition:
'Welcome to Tech Today! I'm at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo. Let me show you some amazing robots.'
'First, meet Pepper. Pepper is a humanoid robot that can understand human emotions. It can talk, dance, and tell jokes. Pepper can work in shops and help customers. It can recognize your face and remember your name. Pepper can speak many languages too!'
'Next is ASIMO from Honda. ASIMO can walk, run, and climb stairs. It can also pour drinks and push a cart. In the past, robots couldn't walk or run. ASIMO is one of the most advanced walking robots in the world.'
'Finally, we have Robear from Japan. Robear is a bear-shaped robot that can lift patients in hospitals. It can help nurses take care of elderly people. Robear is very strong but gentle. It can lift a person without hurting them.'
'The future of robotics is exciting! Soon, robots might be able to do almost everything humans can do.'
