MNN: For many weeks now, top secret testing has been done as several institutions sponsored and kept privately funded by the government. Now, those results bear fruit. We are with Maria in the Technological Institute of Cohorse. Speaking with the project head. Barett.

"For years now, me and my team have been working tirelessly to develop a machine, not your run of the mill printer or mechanized arm. No, we have been working on a functioning robot. With an A.I developed enough to do basic tasks, to walk on its own. To accept orders. Learn. Process. Adapt. Even speak. Now, after several years, we have developed one. Just one. Now as far as what it can do... Well, let's just show you."

The camera flips to show a skeletal model of the robot. Another researches issues a command.

"Unit 1, take that tray, and put it on the table, then pour me a glass of water."

The robot takes a second to process before complying.

"Yes sir."

It then looks around, and spots a table, it maneuvers, tho rather awkwardly, to the table. Before using its hands to grip the sides of the tray after taking a few seconds to put its arms in the right place. It then turns around, before heading back to the group, makes a detour around them, and places the tray on the table. It then analyzes the next scene. Where a glass is next to a ceramic cup, and there are also two pitchers, one full of milk, one full of glass. It grabs the pitcher of water, and slowly pours it into the glass cup. It then grabs the glass, and gives it back to the researcher.

"Thank you Unit 1."

"You... are very welcome."

The camera rotates back to Barett.

"Now, this is only a prototype. But it is remarkable nonetheless. We hope that our work, and those that wish to contribute, will help put funding into our project, as have other countries as well. It may only be able to do a few things. But perhaps by the crack of dawn in the next ten years. We can wake up to a world where robots can do the tasks, and we can just relax."

MNN: Very interesting indeed. Thank you Barett. Now, onto the weather...
