T.Q.S. Surprise

On the 17^th 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”
