Berta and Rob·ert the robot

Català - Castellano - English

Summary

This is a small storybook about a hard-working girl that builds a robot to help her with a boring task that she doesn't want to do. The story wants to introduce the idea of the robot as a tool, not as a friend. Berta has to reason about what parts are needed to interact with the environment and solve the task. At the end, we can imagine how robots could help us to spend more quality time with our families.
