If you are a child with few friends, maybe you need a robot called Musio. If you are a parent with little time to be with your children, then Musio is also a good choice for you. Musio is a new kind of robot. It is to help its users around the homes and become their friend. It took the team a few years to develop Musio. They say Musio is helpful to different age groups.“A lot of people are afraid of AI, but we want to show that it can also do good things,” said Jacob Bradsher, a scientist in the team. The robot can turn on lights, TVs and even air conditioners（空调）. It can also help children to learn new words, read books and talk with others. Now the team is trying to make Musio move its arms and give its users a hug（拥抱）when they are sad. “The more you use Musio, the smarter Musio will become,”said Jacob Bradsher. That is to say, the robot is to learn and grow with its users. It may not be as cute as Baymax, a lovely robot in the popular cartoon film Big Hero Six. However, it will try to make its users happy. 56. What is the name of the robot? 57. How long did it take the team to develop Musio? 58. When will the robot hug its users? 59.
