ROBOTS TALK AND WALK
REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Saturday. Two Robots, which which display startling ability to move and talk, are to be seen to-day at a model engineering exhibition in London. One of them named Eric, will make a speech suitable to the occasion. Eric is a steel figure six feet high, in which wireless mechanism is concealed. It moves its head and arms and utters words. The inventor offers figures similar to Eric for £l5O. The other Robot, named Ronald, is mystifying audiences at Queen’s Hall. The maker is Captain Roberts, who invented the wireless torpedo. By means of an electric torch which plays upon the steel body the latter moves and converses at the inventor’s will.
