You're live with Newsround this Wednesday.

Ayshah here this morning with the children creating memories

of the soldiers who died in World War I and the rest

of your top stories.

First, Europe's biggest robotics event has been taking place

in France and all the talk is about something called a Cobot.

The thinking has been to one day have robots do our jobs for us,

but the idea behind the Cobot is that it will work with humans

rather than replace them.

BBC Technology reporter Rory Cellan-Jones is up close

and personal with the latest from Innorobo in Paris.

Now, these dancing robots are a lot of fun and they look like toys

but they are pretty clever.

There is lots of clever technology in them.

Robots are doing all sorts of things in all sorts of places.

Let's go and find out a bit more.

This is Pepper - it is what is called

a companion robot.

It is already in lots of Japanese homes and businesses and it

will be coming to Europe.

She doesn't do much but she is going to appear in all sorts

of shops quite soon, giving you information.

Maybe at the train station telling you when the next train is due.

But basically, she is supposed to be a bit of fun, aren't you?

Robots have been in factories for years but they are dangerous,

they have to be locked away.

They can harm people and of course they take people's jobs.

But there is a new kind here called a collaborative robot which you can

work together with in factories and I am about to go

and teach one a simple job.

We are going to teach this robot a simple task.

Get it to take this from there and Guillaume,

show me how you train a robot. And now do I press a button?

Yeah, on this one. That button?

Yeah. Press that button, OK.

That's lovely.

You can see on the screen, that is...

You have activated the first pitch.

OK. Then, you just grab it again here.

Grab it again here? Yeah.

Move it across because we are going to put it down.

Put it down? Yeah.

Put it down there.

So now, we will see if you did it well.

Now we are going to see if it works. Almost good.

I think it's worked.

Scottish player Kim Little has been named BBC Women's Footballer

of the Year 2016 She plays for the Seattle Reign team

and has played 115 times for Scotland, scoring 46 goals.

Finally, this summer a special anniversary will remember

the soldiers who died during the Battle of The Somme -

the deadliest battle of World War I.

On 1st July, a concert will be held in Manchester to remember those

who lost their lives and children are being asked to get involved.

The Battle of the Somme, fought in northern France,

was one of the bloodiest of World War I.

For five months, the British and French armies clashed

with the German-led opposition in a brutal battle.

Almost 100 years later, young people are being asked

to create memory squares, dedicated to those who died.

I decided to remember the post men and women because it must have been

so hard to have to be delivering news and stuff about how

so many people had died.

I decided to remember Patrick McGuire, a former

Manchester City player, because I am quite a big

Manchester City fan.

I drew a door with a telegram going through it.

He was a young man when he signed from City, around 21.

Eventually, thousands of memory squares will be printed on to tiles

and then placed on a special pathway here at Heaton Park in Manchester.

It is all part of the national commemoration of the

Battle of the Somme.

The reason why we remember the Somme so much more

than perhaps any other battle in the First World War,

is because of the pals.

You had groups of people going together, all from the same

neighbourhood, the same town, the same sports club.

They all went to war together and that meant that lots of them

were killed or wounded together.

It was a really big event and because so many people died,

it is good to remember them and to feel proud about them

because they fought for our country.

Once uploaded, these memory squares will play an important part

in commemorating the anniversary of this well-known battle.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
