  Farting, burping, walking, and talking robots are being used to help teach children all about robotics and programming in schools.

  The well-known 'humanoid' robot from Wowwee Technologies, the RobosapienT V2 (RSV2) is wowing pupils in school by helping them learn how to program robots as part of the national curriculum. By
  combining Go-Robo software from Q4 Technologies with the RSV2, children are able to program the cheeky RSV2 to walk, talk, dance, high-five, lie down, stand up, throw a ball and even fart on
  command!

  Inventor of the RSV2, Dr Mark Tilden commented: "Modern kids are sophisticated, they demand to be kept engaged. With computer games and high-tech gadgets freely available, schools need to offer
  exciting resources to engage their students.

  "Robots allow kids to access the world via computers, to understand that scientific possibilities are endless. The RSV2 allows a child to shake hands with their own work which really brings science
  to life.
