0:00:03 > 0:00:06You're live with Newsround this Wednesday.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Ayshah here this morning with the children creating memories
0:00:10 > 0:00:13of the soldiers who died in World War I and the rest
0:00:13 > 0:00:17of your top stories.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25First, Europe's biggest robotics event has been taking place
0:00:25 > 0:00:29in France and all the talk is about something called a Cobot.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33The thinking has been to one day have robots do our jobs for us,
0:00:33 > 0:00:34but the idea behind the Cobot is that it will work with humans
0:00:36 > 0:00:43rather than replace them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45BBC Technology reporter Rory Cellan-Jones is up close
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and personal with the latest from Innorobo in Paris.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Now, these dancing robots are a lot of fun and they look like toys
0:00:52 > 0:00:54but they are pretty clever.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56There is lots of clever technology in them.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Robots are doing all sorts of things in all sorts of places.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Let's go and find out a bit more.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03This is Pepper - it is what is called
0:01:03 > 0:01:06a companion robot.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It is already in lots of Japanese homes and businesses and it
0:01:08 > 0:01:10will be coming to Europe.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13She doesn't do much but she is going to appear in all sorts
0:01:13 > 0:01:15of shops quite soon, giving you information.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Maybe at the train station telling you when the next train is due.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But basically, she is supposed to be a bit of fun, aren't you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Robots have been in factories for years but they are dangerous,
0:01:24 > 0:01:25they have to be locked away.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28They can harm people and of course they take people's jobs.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But there is a new kind here called a collaborative robot which you can
0:01:31 > 0:01:34work together with in factories and I am about to go
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and teach one a simple job.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39We are going to teach this robot a simple task.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Get it to take this from there and Guillaume,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44show me how you train a robot. And now do I press a button?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yeah, on this one. That button?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Yeah. Press that button, OK.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50That's lovely.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53You can see on the screen, that is...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55You have activated the first pitch.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58OK. Then, you just grab it again here.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Grab it again here? Yeah.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Move it across because we are going to put it down.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Put it down? Yeah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Put it down there.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11So now, we will see if you did it well.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Now we are going to see if it works. Almost good.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I think it's worked.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Scottish player Kim Little has been named BBC Women's Footballer
0:02:28 > 0:02:32of the Year 2016 She plays for the Seattle Reign team
0:02:32 > 0:02:38and has played 115 times for Scotland, scoring 46 goals.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Finally, this summer a special anniversary will remember
0:02:43 > 0:02:46the soldiers who died during the Battle of The Somme -
0:02:46 > 0:02:49the deadliest battle of World War I.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52On 1st July, a concert will be held in Manchester to remember those
0:02:52 > 0:02:57who lost their lives and children are being asked to get involved.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04The Battle of the Somme, fought in northern France,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08was one of the bloodiest of World War I.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12For five months, the British and French armies clashed
0:03:12 > 0:03:14with the German-led opposition in a brutal battle.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Almost 100 years later, young people are being asked
0:03:17 > 0:03:21to create memory squares, dedicated to those who died.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I decided to remember the post men and women because it must have been
0:03:25 > 0:03:28so hard to have to be delivering news and stuff about how
0:03:28 > 0:03:31so many people had died.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I decided to remember Patrick McGuire, a former
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Manchester City player, because I am quite a big
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Manchester City fan.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43I drew a door with a telegram going through it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47He was a young man when he signed from City, around 21.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Eventually, thousands of memory squares will be printed on to tiles
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and then placed on a special pathway here at Heaton Park in Manchester.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01It is all part of the national commemoration of the
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Battle of the Somme.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06The reason why we remember the Somme so much more
0:04:06 > 0:04:09than perhaps any other battle in the First World War,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12is because of the pals.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15You had groups of people going together, all from the same
0:04:15 > 0:04:18neighbourhood, the same town, the same sports club.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21They all went to war together and that meant that lots of them
0:04:21 > 0:04:24were killed or wounded together.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29It was a really big event and because so many people died,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33it is good to remember them and to feel proud about them
0:04:33 > 0:04:37because they fought for our country.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Once uploaded, these memory squares will play an important part
0:04:40 > 0:04:45in commemorating the anniversary of this well-known battle.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Go online for the rest of today's stories.
