Do you want to hear from a top Paralympian about Team GB's | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
mega-success so far at Sochi? And do you want to meet the robot helping | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
kids with autism? Then you're in the right place. I'm Ayshah and you're | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
watching Newsround. One gold, two silver, one bronze. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
There are still four days left of the Winter Paralympics in Sochi, and | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Team GB have already smashed their medal target. This morning visually | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
impaired skier Jade Etherington came second in the slalom. 15-year-old | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Millie Knight, Team GB's youngest ever competitor, came an impressive | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
fifth. The Winter Paralympics have never been so big. So how can we | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
make sure the future Millie Knights and Jade Etheringtons get the best | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
chances? We've got a Paralympic star with us | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
- it's wheelchair racer Hannah Cockroft who won two golds at London | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
2012. It's been brilliant stuff from Team GB in Sochi. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
What's your favourite moment so far? Millie Knight, being so young and | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
carrying the flag and every single medal afterwards, running back more | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
memories. Is there a winter sport you'd like to try? One of my | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
competitors in wheelchair racing is currently doing Nordic skiing so I | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
can do that, to! Do you feel it's a good time for British Paralympic | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
sport? This is an amazing time, our success in Sochi is adding to the | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
success in London and we are growing as a sport every year. Incredible. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Are there enough opportunities for kids to get into Paralympic sports? | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
There are more chances than before London, we have the playground | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
podium, coming through schools and Sportsday, going around the country | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
so everybody can try out every single sport. If kids are watching | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
thinking, this is for me, what's your advice? Find a sport that you | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
love and that is a first step. Thanks, Hannah.. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Next, to more of your fantastic robo-designs. Grace designed this | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
amazing robot that can tidy up. Craig's cool Springbots hang out the | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
washing. And Florrie and Heidi designed Robot Rex which looks after | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
your dog when you're not there. Keep sending your designs to the | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Newsround website. But what about a robot that can help kids with | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
autism? People who have autism can have problems relating to others and | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
making sense of the world around them. Now British scientists have | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
come up with some high tech help. Here's Ricky. Meet Casper, he might | :02:31. | :02:43. | |
look unusual but this humanoid robot is helping young children living | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
with autism. For children with autism, sometimes even the simplest | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
things, like knowing when someone is happy, can be a challenge. The | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
condition can make it very difficult for them to talk and play with | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
others. But at this special school in Hertfordshire, they have a | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
robotic teacher helping children to learn. Four-year-old Ireland gets to | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
play with Casper every week. Shall we say hello? Scientists in children | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
with autism like a simple features and repetitive phrases. Does he talk | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
to you? Yes. He says hello. You cannot they can. You have to be | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
careful. Do you like talking to him? Yes. I love to. Can you make Casper | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
have a happy face? Teachers here say they have noticed an improvement in | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
the way some children communicate. And researchers are working hard to | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
further develop Casper. Engineers in Hertfordshire are using the latest | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
technology to bring these robots to lie. They are even using a 3D | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
printer to correct these plastic body parts. 20 new robots will be | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
given to parents and schools later this year over the UK and it is | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
hoped that Casper will help children with autism make new friends, go to | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
school and understand the world around them a little bit better. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
We're robot crazy this week on the Newsround website. As well as your | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
robot designs, you can watch Ricky spend the night in a robot house and | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
meet the robots of the future. Plus there are stacks of fun quizzes and | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
weird videos to keep you busy all afternoon. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
That's it, guys, we're out of time. I'm back just before 7pm with your | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
last Newsround update of the day. See you then, right here on CBBC. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Bye! | :04:47. | :04:52. |
