She's waiting for her train, which is late (as usual).
Uh, that's weird, the wagon looked darker on the pictures online. Oh well, they must have repainted it recently.
She hops on the train, and goes to find her place before any adult can see her and ask questions she doesn't really want to answer.
The girl smiles at Bonnie, before walking off to make the food, as the boy starts to explain the metal parts. "You swipe it in front of a laser scanner, and that sees that the size is right, and then you do a surface test by rubbing it against a special sensor. And then you look at it and see that it isn't cracked or damaged or dirty. Those kinds of things."
"Seems like important work! I think I'm more interested in how robots are programmed than how they're built, do you know anything about that?"
"Yes I do, I work with that too, but right now I'm more needed for checking the things they make. So I can find the app for robot programming and simulation if you want, and show you some things."
"If you have your phone?" The boy gets ready to explain how to move the end of the robot arm and moving the joints separately and how to use the simulation program to see how the arm would move and to make it stay away from anything that could be dangerous.
He quickly downloads the right app, not really explaining anything, before getting to a screen showing a robot arm in a white room. "See this?" He double-taps the end of the arm and drags it from point A to point B. Then he pushes a button to have the robot start moving forwards and backwards. "We try to have an extreme amount of simulation done first, before actually having a robot arm doing anything."
