Text 10 M：A guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. Persephone is very intelligent. It’s a human-sized robot. It can give its part of the tour in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language. Persephone guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Kartalis is considering ways to increase its speed. Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. “It’s helpful, because it speaks many languages,” she said. “There’s just a little delay in the touring.” She added, “Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages.” Karafera noted, however, that human tour guides must remain part of the operation. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs,” she said. “But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere.”
