Jessica: Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the New Tech Centre.

Nam: Hi, Jessica. I'm so excited as I've never met a talking robot before. Let's have a photo taken together!

Jessica: OK, I'll get someone to take a picture of us, but let's go first to the robot exhibition where you'll see a collection of human-like robots from around the world. Please follow me. ... OK, do you have any questions?

Mai: They look so real! Can we interact with them?

Jessica: Yes, you can. They're all capable of answering questions and translating from different languages. Let me get this robot activated so you can talk to him.

Mai: Hello, what's your name? What languages can you speak? Where do you live?

Robby: Hello, my name's Robby. I can speak English, Vietnamese, Chinese, and German. I live in the New Tech Centre.

Mai: Wow! You're so smart, Robby.

Nam: Jessica, where shall we go next?

Jessica: Next, we'll visit the Research and Development area. Please follow me. Here scientists and engineers explore and create new AI technologies. AI has many practical applications such as facial recognition and virtual assistants.
