3 Name: Date: Meet the Robots By Erin Bregman Lexile Level: 830 Word Count: 683 If you think of robots as a thing of the future, think again. Robots do many jobs today. They work in mines and on farms. They help doctors and save lives. They even explore volcanoes. Here are some robots that are hard at work. Gemini-Scout Gemini-Scout is a remote-controlled robot that does search-and-rescue work in mines under the ground. The robot is less than two feet tall and has wheels. It can go up and down stairs and make tight turns, and it can even roll through water. The robot is small, but it is strong. Gemini- Scout carries food, water, and other supplies. It can even drag hurt people to safety. Wherever it goes, Gemini-Scout collects information. For example, it tests the air for gases and then tells miners when the air is safe. The robot also has a thermal camera to help it find miners. A thermal camera uses heat sensors to find living things. When the robot finds the trapped miners, the miners can use its two-way radio to talk with the rescue team. This robot was built to be easy to use. Its remote control is the same one that is used for some video games. If you ve ever played a video game, you may know how to use Gemini-Scout. Assessment #1: Meet the Robots 2

4 Dante 2 Dante 2 is a robot with an interesting job it climbs into volcanoes to gather information for scientists. Like a spider, this robot has eight legs. This helps it climb the steep walls of the volcano. It is also built to survive very high heat. When a volcano is too dangerous for scientists to enter, Dante goes instead. Dante 2 looks for vents, or holes, in the crater. Then the robot collects information about the gases that come out of the vents. In the past, scientists could not learn as much about volcanoes, but Dante 2 is changing that. Now scientists can study a volcano up close while they remain safe in their laboratories. Mr. Gower Mr. Gower is a robot that works in hospitals, helping doctors and nurses bring medicine to patients. Mr. Gower looks like a small cabinet on wheels. The body of the robot is a stack of locked drawers that store medicine. Nurses and doctors can unlock the drawers when the medicine is needed. Mr. Gower can go anywhere in the hospital. It can ride elevators, steer through hallways, and move around things that get in the way. The robot is so strong that it can pull 500 pounds. Mr. Gower runs on batteries. After charging for two hours, the robot can deliver medicine for twelve hours without stopping. Not only does it work long days, but Mr. Gower can talk. It has been programmed to say hundreds of phrases. For example, it can say, Calling elevator or Your delivery is here. Mr. Gower does work that doctors, pharmacists, and nurses used to do. This allows them to focus on other important tasks. Assessment #1: Meet the Robots 3

5 Agribots An agribot is a robot that picks fruit. It might pick berries, oranges, grapes, or apples. Agribots are not yet widely used, but farmers are very interested in what these robots can do. Because picking a strawberry is different than picking an apple, agribots come in all shapes and sizes. Some have giant arms that are towed behind trucks. Others are able to move around on their own. In Japan, there is a strawberry-picking robot that can sense the color of the berries. This helps the robot know when each berry is ripe. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), scientists are working to grow cherry tomatoes with no human help at all! They have created a greenhouse full of plants that are cared for by small agribots. The agribots are like robot farmers. Every plant has sensors that tell the robots what the plant needs. If a plant is too dry, a robot will water it. When a robot senses that a tomato is ripe, it uses a mechanical arm to pick the tomato. Agribots may seem unusual now, but one day they may be common on farms. Assessment #1: Meet the Robots 4

12 Name: Date: Robots that Play Well with Others By Kascha Semonovitch Lexile Level: 820 Word Count: 449 About fifty years ago, the author Isaac Asimov wrote a story called I, Robot. The story is set in the future, when robots take care of children. The main character loves her robot babysitter, Robbie. Unlike the child s parents, Robbie always has time to play. Robbie and the child have adventures together. Robbie is an endless source of fun! When the story was written, it was a fantasy. Now it is close to coming true, since today, robots can do all kinds of work. They assemble electronic gadgets, guide trains on tracks, and sort trash. Today s robots can play as well as work robots sing, dance, and even play music. A Japanese robot can play the piano with its two mechanical hands. Another robot, HRP-4c, can even dance and sing. Many playful robots are made to copy animals, too. Some robots play the way animals play while other robots play with animals. For example, moviemakers have designed huge robotic apes and dinosaurs to be in movies. But these kinds of robots aren t made only for movies. Robot animals can live with you. You can buy a lifelike pet, such as a dog, a seal, or even a dinosaur. These robot pets have a lot in common with real pets. Assessment #2: Robots that Play Well with Others 2

13 They want your attention and you can teach them tricks. There is even a new version of a robot pet that has fur so you can pet your robot just like you pet your dog or cat. There is one difference, though you don t need to take them outside or feed them! Other robots help people play with live animals. One company, I-Pet Companion, has made a robot that lets people play with kittens, but from a distance. When you log on to the Internet, you can control the robot from far away. The robot is put in a room full of kittens. It drags a piece of string for the kittens to chase. When it s your turn, you can control the robot to pull the string this way or that way. The kittens jump after the string as you push the controls. Some robots even play all by themselves. College students in Oregon have created robots that can play hockey or shuffleboard on their own. All year, the students work hard to design the robots. The robots play the game without any instructions from the students. The robots grab the puck, turn, twist and compete to score. In the final test, the robots must push the puck to the goal without being told what to do. There may never be a robot like Robbie since I, Robot was a made-up story. Still, today s robots can offer hours of fun. Assessment #2: Robots that Play Well with Others 3
