On the 17th
of June T.Q.S. came to our school with Pepper the robot. Jeff and his colleague introduced us to Pepper. There are
only two of these robots in Ireland. This robot was made in Paris and brought to
Ireland for T.Q.S. to design and programme.
If you make eye contact with Pepper then she
will look and speak to you. Pepper's height is 1m 20cm. Pepper had a touch
screen on her chest. Jeff pressed a button and nine Waterford hurlers came up on
the screen. Maurice Shanahan, Brick Walsh , Jack Prendergast, Shane Bennett,
Stephen Bennett, Kieran Bennett, Austin Gleeson, Seanie Barry and Tommy Ryan.
T.Q.S. sponsor the Waterford hurling team. When Jeff pressed on Seanie Barry
Pepper said “Seanie Barry likes funky
music”. And Pepper made some funky moves.
Then Jeff told us that they are
teaching Pepper to speak Spanish and Japanese. Then Pepper said “Slán anois”
