PRE-READING QUESTION
Do you think that machines will ever be more intelligent than
people or more human-like?
Reading in English
A small step for a Sony robot could turn out to be a giant leap for “robot
kind”. In 2003 Sony showed a new version of its QRIO robot that could jog at a
top speed of 14 metres per minute.
Running is a much more difficult task for a robot to perform as both of the machine’s feet must be off the
floor at the same time. Sony said the QRIO jogging robot was the result of three years of work but that it
had no plans to put it on sale like the AIBO robot dog.
QRIO stands for “quest for curiosity”. The robot, which was previously known as the SDR, has earlier been
shown walking, climbing, kicking a ball and dancing. Now Sony has updated the robot, which is usually
shown off at trade shows and other events, to run slowly for a short distance. If the 58cm high robot were
human-sized, it would be able to run at a speed of about 2.4km per hour.
QRIO is also able to speak now. Its “voice” is generated using software that converts text to speech. It has
on board two digital cameras that help it learn about its surroundings and recognise up to 10 faces.
Sony uses the friendly robot as an ambassador for its products at events. This robot puts Sony ahead of
Honda, which has shown off its ASIMO robot that, so far, can only walk. Sony has enjoyed huge success
with its AIBO robot dog and has sold more than 130,000 units of that technological pet. AIBO costs around
69,000 yen, about 520 euros.
But QRIO’s adventures don’t stop here! The robot has made its TV debut: it recorded its voice for a small
part in a top Japanese cartoon show called “Astro Boy”. QRIO has clearly impressed Kazuya Konaka, its
director. “Our message is that robots are our partners”, he said. “This has demonstrated that robots and
human beings can work together.” In BBC NEWS
