The Robot and the Bluebird: 1

Product Information

Though small, this book is mighty and stirs a lot of beautiful emotions. It's such a great book that I wanted to feature it in my year 2 class, as it also ties in perfectly to our Topic of inventions (a lot of the children thought of robots when they thought about inventions). I think this story will provide rich content for our literacy lessons, and it's a great one to delve into what's on the inside, and not just what's on the outside.

Given an initial estimate P (0) of the robot’s location in the configuration space , maintain an ongoing estimate of the robot pose P ( t ) at time t with respect to the map. Configuration Space (C-space). This book is kind of gloomy but happy and deep. The robot doesn't have a heart but gives a shelter to a bluebird. The robot at the beginning just sat there heartless but once bluebird came into his heart, robot felt much better and loved. When the bluebird has to leave, the robot offers to take t... There was once a robot with a broken heart, good for nothing but expiring slowly on a scrap heap. Then one winter's day a migrating bluebird lands on his shoulder, too exhausted to go further. The robot offers her shelter in the place where his heart used to be, and her warmth and singing and companionship stir up the last glimmer of energy the robot has; he carries her across snowy wastes to the warm south, whereupon his strength dies out finally. And there he still stands today like an old hollow tree, home every year to singing birds.Computing -This half term we are using the computers.

By: 1- Aws Al- Nabulsi 2- Ibrahim Wahbeh 3- Odai Abdallah Supervised by: Dr. Kamel Saleh. Overview. The main idea of the project is to create an open source hardware and software robotic platform that can be easily adapted to do several tasks. High atop a pile of rubbish sits a lonely Robot with a broken heart. Then one winter's day, a Bluebird appears, fighting against the freezing wind. When the Robot offers her a home in the empty space where his heart used to be, neither of them can predict what astonishing things will happen. Together the newfound friends set off on a memorable journey that will change them both. Very sweet, and I think, sad story. Broken-hearted Robot finds a new sense of purpose when he finds Bluebird in need. This one should be discussed, not just read: Why did Robot do what he did? Did he "die" happy? (Did he die at all?) Why do people need a sense of purpose? Is it more important to make ourselves happy or help others? Een prachtig boek over een robot zonder hart en een vogel zonder huis. Ik wist wel dat ik dit boek zou liefhebben, de cover alleen al is geweldig en de blurb maakt het nog mooier. Het boek gaat over een robot wiens hart is verdwenen, de andere robots proberen hem te helpen... maar zoals ik al had verwacht liep dat niet zo goed (al vraag ik me af of ze ansich eens met een hart hebben geprobeerd), hij wordt naar de schroot gestuurd (arme robot helemaal moedersziel alleen op die nare plek), en dan ontmoet hij een vogeltje. En die zorgt ervoor dat alles weer zingt, dat hij vederlicht is, en meer. Ik waarschuw wel, het einde daar moest ik toch even bijna huilen want was dat verdrietig maar tegelijkertijd prachtig en mooi.
