Hi, guys, Ayshah here with the stories you need to know this

Tuesday morning including: Guess who's back on X-Factor? And stayed

tuned to Newsround as we enter the robot house.

First then, it's official guys, Cheryl Cole is coming back as a

judge on this season's X-Factor. Simon Cowell, who'll also be back as

a judge this year, confirmed the announcement online overnight. The

pair fell out when Cheryl was dropped from the American version of

the show. After the announcement Cheryl posted a picture of herself

with Simon joking about their falling out. TV critics say it's all

a big plot to try and win back ratings as audience figures for the

shows haven't been as good in recent years.

So we want to hear what you think about this, are you pleased that

Cheryl and Simon are coming back for the next series? Will you be

watching, or do you think X-Factor's had its day? Head to the website and

let us know. Next, back to our special series

about the next wave of robots. Today, Ricky's taking a look at

whether we will ever live with androids and how they might adapt to

our lives. He's been given access to one of Britain's most futuristic

homes, time to take a peek inside! This may look like a normal house on

the outside, but what is going on inside could change the way we live

our lives in the future. Hello, Ricky, welcome to the robot house.

This property in Hertfordshire comes with two robots which are programmed

to help us out with everyday tasks. There are lots of senses in this

house. They are in the sofa, in the cupboards and doors. They are also

on the ceiling and they are detecting our every single move, our

daily habits and it is feeding that information into the computer. We

have 60 senses here. We try to find out what a person is doing and then

to use the technology here with the robots to try to help the person,

reminding the person of appointments or to call a friend. This is the

type of help that we have in mind. The sensors are in tune with this

computer here. We can see a layout of the house. If somebody opens the

microwave it has gone red. If it was open for too long it would alert us

to close the door? Absolutely. This technology might help older people

to stay in their houses for longer. It can remind them when to take

their medicine or even to watch a favourite TV programme. Ricky, time

to watch Newsround. And tune in to our next bulletin at

8.15am right here on CBBC to see how Ricky got on in the robot house. Or

check it out online right now! So already you've been sending us

your robot designs. Oscar, who's six, has built this one out of Lego

for us, it's a robot called James who shakes people's hands!

Here's a horse robot from Phoebe in Essex. She says it doesn't need

feeding or mucking out but you can still ride it and groom it!

And six-year-old Daniel from Brighton has designed the wonderful

Norbet 5,000. Not only does it do everything for you, it also has fire

alarm ears. Brilliant. Head to the website for more, and to send us

your own! Sport now and Arsenal will have to

overcome a two goal deficit in Germany tonight if they are to go

further in the Champions League. They will play Bayern Munich. Arsene

Wenger says he still believes they can win tonight. Bayern Munich is a

team which is full of confidence because they are doing well. But we

have a great opportunity to do it. I am absolutely confident that

mentally we will be ready to play at our best.

Last up, to some very smart animals, elephants. A new study has found

they can tell the difference between male and female voices, and can even

work out different human languages. Researchers played the sound of men,

women and children saying the same phrase to a herd of wild elephants,

and found they were more frightened of the men's voices. That's all from

me, Newsround's back in half an hour with how Ricky got on in the robot

house. Bye-bye.
