                      1.  Have you ever used a real robot or seen one in action? What did it do?

                      2.  Do you know the difference between a real robot and a virtual robot?

                     The 21st century is full of new ideas and inventions, many of which are made possible by technology
                     and artificial intelligence. One exciting development is the creation of virtual robots. But what
                     exactly are they and why are they important today?

                            VIRTUAL ROBOTS

                     Virtual robots  are computer-simulated  robots  that  can be  programmed  and controlled  on a
                     digital platform or computer screen. They use artificial intelligence and programming to carry out
                     tasks, learn and solve problems, but everything happens in a digital or simulated environment.

                                   Digital Environment                                 Interactive Tools
                      They operate in a virtual world that                             Use 3D models and special software
                         looks and feels like the real one.                            to build and test your robots.

                                                                                             Learning and Fun
                             AI and Programming                                              Great for students to explore
                      You control them using coding                                          robotics and programming in a
                          and artificial intelligence.                                       simple and interesting way.

                     WHY ARE VIRTUAL ROBOTS IMPORTANT?
                     Virtual robots offer several important advantages that make them popular in education and
                     technology today. Some key benefits of using virtual robots are as follows:

                         Safe learning: Students and engineers can test new ideas, build robots and learn programming

                        without any risk of breaking real parts.
                         Easy experimentation: You can quickly try different designs or codes to see what works and

                        improve your skills.
                         Bringing  new technologies:  Virtual robots help us understand and test new technologies,

                        allowing us to improve and prepare them for future real-world use.

                                       If you could design a mobile news reporter using VEXcode, what features and
                                       characteristics would you add to your robot? Think about how it would move,

                                       gather information, interact with people and present the news.
