In groups, talk about the photos, and do some research about robots or AI devices in sci-fi films and novels, and write a list of as many robot characters or AI devices as you can think of. Use the Internet if necessary. Photo 1: The photo is from the film Wall-E and shows Wall-E sitting on a bench and Eve hovering beside him. Photo 2: The photo is from the film Star Wars, and shows C-3PO, R2-D2, Luke and Leia on the deck of a spaceship watching the Millennium Falcon zoom off into space. Examples: the Star Wars movies, Wall. E, Big Hero Six, the Transformers movies, Pacific Rim, the Foundation Series. 2. Make a table like the one below and fill in the parts for different robot characters and AI devices on your list. Movie/Novel Name Characteristic Function/Ability Unique quality Star wars R2-D2 Brave, funny, mischievous (淘气的；恶作剧的) Co-pilot, hack computers He speaks in beeps and whistles 3. Create your own robot character or AI device. Consider the following questions and make notes. And then present your idea of the design to the class. 1) What is your robot or AI device called? Why? 2) What does it look like? Why? 3) What can your robot or AI device do? Why and how? 4) Does it have a personality or specific function? If so, what is it like? 5) What makes your robot or AI device unique? Sample presentation: Bug-Eye Our robot is called “Bug-Eye” because it looks like a small bunny rabbit with big eyes. We choose this idea because many children cannot have pets, but every child can have a small robot in their house. Bug-Eye is small enough that it can even fit in a schoolbag. And since it does not eat or drink anything it is easy to take care of. Bug-Eye plays and does funny things. For example, if it hears a loud noise it makes a squeal and jumps in the air. Then when you pet it, it snuggles up to you and falls asleep. What makes our robot unique is that — apart from being a toy — it can also keep young children safe. For example, if anyone tries to hurt their owner, it will bite them. One of its big eyes is a camera which is connected by the Internet to a computer. That way, the child’s parents can see what the child is doing. And with the built-in positioning system, they can also keep track of where their child is. Both children and their parents will love Bug- Eye. Children will love it because it is cuddly and does tricks, and parents will love it because it helps them protect their child. 4. Prepare your design for submission to a science fair using the following guidelines.
