Have you seen the film “Wall-E”? In the future, Earth has become so dirty that we can no longer live on the planet anymore. The last human-beings flew away in spaceships leaving behind small robots that help clean Earth. Wall-E is a smart robot that rolls around all day turning rubbish in to small boxes.
Wall E can only be found in a film, but there are robots that are real and are helping us today! Like this robot called “Asimo”, he can walk, run, jump and even serve food and drink. He looks like a spaceman!
Look at the video to see what he can do!
Another robot called “Riba 2” helps lift people from their bed in to a wheelchair. This will help people that are sick or elderly people that cannot move very well.
Watch the video to see what it can do!
