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.

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.
