Read the text and put each statement into the correct group. OMG (Oh, My God!) — The New Kid in Class is a ... Robot! On February 5th, 2013, the fifth-grade students at Japan’s Higashihikari Elementary School welcomed a new student. However, unlike other newcomers, he was not shy and seemed to recognise all 119 kids by their names. Impressed? You will be even more so when you find out that Robovie is not human but a гobot, masquerading as a fifth-grade student! Developed by Japan’s Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International, the 1.2-meter tall student is part of a 14-month experiment to test if robots can learn to communicate naturally and assimilate with a group of people. This is the company's longest experiment with this "child". They hope to make robots a useful part of the household in the future. Robovie sounds like a five-year-old in his daily vocabulary and speaking skills. The scientists hope that he will develop his vocabulary by interacting with the fifth graders. But he has an unfair advantage — he was preprogrammed with the contents of a fifth-grade science textbook. So he impressed the class by answering some difficult questions correctly. Robovie is doing quite well on the social front too. He not only knows all the students in his grade but after classes, he also shakes hands with the sixth graders and is polite enough to answer all their questions.
