Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

This week's listener suggestion was sent to us 16 months ago, so we are very excited to finally get curious about this super interesting topic.

Hi Jacob and Olivia.

My son Antonio loves your podcast's show.

We listen to it every morning on our way to school.

Antonio is hoping that you all can do an episode on one of his favorite topics, robotics.

He is curious about when the first robot was ever built, and where is the largest robot ever

made?

How do robots help people?

We hope you can help us learn more about robots. Thanks for your help

and great show. Julie and Antonio of Houston, Texas. That was an awesome email. We are getting

curious about robots for Antonio this week. I'm also very curious about robots, so I can't wait to learn more.

This is going to be so much fun. So, there is a robot called the Roomba, and many people have

Roomba's in their homes. In fact, in the 18 years since the Roomba was introduced, over 20 million of them have been purchased.

The question of the week is, what household task does the Rumba do for you?

That's a fun question, and I think it helps explain what robots are and why they exist.

Many robots are created to do things that humans had to do by themselves.

Exactly. Robots are kind of hard to define.

Olivia, if I asked you what a robot is, what would you say?

A robot is a great thing that has arms, legs, a body, and a head, and it can talk.
