Most times, the vehicles move quite slowly and sometimes they are at a complete standstill. The train ride to the station that is close to their school takes about 15 minutes.
Researchers from MIT reportedly have created a new robot in their lab and apparently, it does resemble an actual person. Engineers at the prestigious university recently revealed the interface they have constructed, which can allow human programmers to interact with a humanoid robot, allowing that robot to learn and eventually mimic human-like reflexes.
Let’s begin with a story. One day, Mark decided to leave his car at home and use the bus to get to work and to take his daughter to school. Sara was very excited because she hardly ever rode in a bus as her father would take her everywhere in his car. Sara’s mom woke her up and they had
