Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW

Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Code."

In animation, a dialogue bubble pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."

The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW!

(music plays)

Lucas says WELCOME, LAURA, TO MONDAY, AT
YOUR SERVICE, ROBOT LUCAS.

Laura says THAT'S RIGHT, TVOkids, IT IS
ROBOT DAY IN THE FORT.
VERY EXCITING DAY.

Lucas says MM-HM.
LAURA, WHAT DO YOU THINK A ROBOT
IS?
WHAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A
ROBOT?

Laura says OH, MAN.

Lucas says WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?
I DON'T KNOW FULLY YET EITHER.

Laura says THEY COULD BE MANY THINGS.
THEIR ELECTRONIC, THEIR MADE BY
HUMANS.

Lucas says SOMETHING LIKE A DRONE, DO
YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE
CONSIDERED A ROBOT?

Laura says THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
HERE'S THE THING.
SOME DRONES ARE ACTUALLY
CONTROLLED BY REMOTE CONTROLS,
RIGHT.

Lucas says THEY CAN'T SENSE THEIR OWN
ENVIRONMENT SO THEY NEED HELP,
MAYBE THEIR NOT ROBOTS?

Laura says THAT'S TRUE.
A ROBOT CAN SENSE ITS
ENVIRONMENT AND REACT
ACCORDINGLY.

Lucas says THAT'S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR,
BUT WE HAVE A ROBOT EXPERT
COMING IN LATER TO OUR TREE
FORT, SO CALL IN IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS, AND I THINK HE'S
GOING TO TEACH US A BIT MORE
ABOUT IT.
[Frog horn]

Laura says AND I WILL GET THE CALL.

Lucas says THAEB THIS TVOkid WILL TEACH
US ABOUT ROBOTS.
WHO KNOWS.

Laura says HELLO.
LAURA SPEAKING.
WHO'S CALLING?

The caller says HI.

Laura says HEY, WHO'S THERE?

The caller says MAVIS.

Laura says MAVIS.
DO YOU KNOW THE PASSWORD FOR THE
FORT?

Mavis says YES!

Laura says WHAT IS IT?

Mavis says CODE.

Laura says YES, ROBOT LANGUAGE.
YOU ARE GOING IN THE SKY, MAVIS.

Lucas says YOU'RE IN THE SKY.
LET'S SEE YOUR BEST ROBOT
IMPERSONATION.
AND GO!

Mavis pops up on the sky screen with a caption that reads "Mavis. Age ."

Mavis has curly brown hair and wears a red puffy headpiece.

She does robotic moves and says BOOP BOOP BOP BOP.

Laura says MAVIS IS AMAZING.

Lucas says YOU HAVE THE SOUNDS PERFECT.
OKAY, ROBOT QUESTION FOR YOU,
MAVIS.
IF YOU COULD INVENT A ROBOT,
WHAT WOULD IT DO?

Laura says HMM.

Mavis says TEACH ME HOW TO DANCE.

Lucas says TEACH YOU HOW TO DANCE!

Laura says THAT WOULD BE THE BEST ROBOT
IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

Lucas dances and says SO IT WOULD BE LIKE MOVE TO
THE RIGHT, MOVE TO THE LEFT.
MOVE TO THE FRONT.

Laura says MOVE TO THE BACK.

Lucas says RIGHT?
IS THAT IT?
[Laughter]

Lucas says HEY, GOOD.

Laura says AMAZING.
I THINK YOU SHOULD INVENT THAT,
MAVIS.
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

Lucas says OH, YOU HAVE FUNNY FACES.
OKAY, MAKE YOUR FUNNIEST FACE.

She sticks out her tongue.

Laura says OH, I LOVE IT.

Lucas says WE LOVE IT.
YOUR ROBOT SHOULD LOOK LIKE
THAT.
WE ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU A...

Laura says YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHY WOULD SHE WANT THE ROBOT TO
LOOK LIKE THAT?

Lucas says BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.

Laura says MAVIS.
WE HAVE A SUPER CUTE VIDEO WE
WANT TO SHOW YOU.

Mavis says OKAY.

Lucas says CHECK IT.

A series of pets appear with the title "Cute time oot."

A clip shows a small dog riding an automated vacuum.

Lucas says OKAY, THIS.

Laura says MAVIS, YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK
THIS OUT.
LOOK, THIS DOG IS RIDING AROUND
ON WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A ROBOT.

Lucas says YEAH, WE DO BELIEVE THIS IS A
ROBOT.
THIS IS AN AUTOMATED VACUUM,
WHICH I THINK CAN SENSE ITS
ENVIRONMENT IF IT CAN CLEAN THE
FLOOR.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS,
MAVIS?

Laura says YEAH, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DO YOU LIKE IT?

Lucas says ARE YOU SPEECHLESS?

Laura says SHE'S SPEECHLESS!

Lucas says WHY DO YOU RATE IT OUT OF
TEN?

Mavis says A MILLION!

Laura says A MILLION OUT OF TEN.

Lucas says A MILLION!

Laura says HUGE SCORE FOR THE DOG ON THE
ROBOT VACUUM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAVIS.

Lucas says YEAH, MAVIS, GOOD LUCK ON
YOUR ROBOT TRAINING.

Laura says TALK TO YOU AGAIN SOON.

Lucas says WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, THE
ROBOT EXPERT.

Laura says THE ROBOT EXPERT OF ALL
EXPERTS.

Lucas says WALTER THE SCIENTIST FROM THE
ONTARIO SCIENCE CENTRE.
[Applause]

Laura says IT'S WALTER!

Walter walks in and says I LOVE IT.

Laura says WELCOME TO THE TREE FORT.

Walter says YEAH, IT'S AMAZING.

Walter is in his thirties, with short curly brown hair. He wears glasses, gray trousers, a black shirt and a whit lab coat.

Lucas says ALWAYS A PLEASURE, WALTER.

Laura says WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU,
ESPECIALLY ON ROBOT DAY.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR
YOU, BUT FIRST WE'RE GOING TO
LET THE TVOkids ASK YOU A
QUESTION.
ARE YOU DOWN?

Walter says YEAH, FIRE AWAY.

Laura says WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME
FOR . . .

The announcer shouts "WE NEED TO KNOW"!

The loud voice makes the fort shake.

Lucas says WE FORGOT TO TELL YOU,
WALTER.
THE TREE FORT SHAKES SOMETIMES,
WALTER.

Walter says OH, OKAY.

Laura says WE'VE GOT TVOkid AYOUB ON THE
LINE.
ARE YOU THERE?

A caption reads "Ayoub. Age 10."

Ayoub says YES.

Laura says HI.

Lucas says WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION FOR
WALTER THE SCIENTIST?

Ayoub says HOW DO YOU MAKE ROBOTS?

Laura says HOW DO YOU MAKE ROBOTS?
GREAT QUESTION.

The caption changes to "Walter. Ontario Science Centre."

Walter says YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT
QUESTION.
AND NOT THE EASIEST QUESTION,
BUT IT DEPENDS IS PERHAPS THE
SHORT ANSWER.
BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR ROBOT
TO DO?
RIGHT?

Laura says HMM.

Walter says THERE ARE ROBOTS THAT I'VE
HEARD OF THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO
MAKE OUT OF DNA SO THAT IT CAN
GO INTO THE BLOODSTREAM AND
DESTROY CANCER CELLS.
YOU THINK OF THE ROBOTS THAT
NASA HAS BUILT THAT HAVE BEEN
TRAVELLING ON OTHER PLANETS, AND
THEY ARE MADE OF SOLAR CELLS,
RIGHT?
THEY HAVE THEIR WHEELS AND METAL
FRAMES.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT THEM
TO DO AND HOW LONG YOU WANT IT
TO LAST.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON THAT.

Laura says WOW.

Lucas says THIS IS GOOD ADVICE.

Laura says SO YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE ROBOT WILL DO FIRST AND
THEN YOU GO FROM THERE.

Walter says EXACTLY.

Lucas says I LOVE THAT.
SO INSPIRING.
CAN YOU TELL US WHEN ROBOTS WERE
ACTUALLY CREATED?

Laura says HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN
AROUND?

Walter says THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION
TOO.
ROBOTS, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU
DEFINE THEM, YOU CAN GO BACK
THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Laura says REALLY?

Walter says STATUES WERE BUILT THAT KIND
OF MOVED ON THEIR OWN.

Lucas says YEAH.

Laura says THAT'S SO COOL.

Walter says DA VINCI, IN THE 1950S THEY
FOUND A DRAWING OF DA VINCI'S
DATING BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS IN
WHICH HE MADE A SUIT OF ARMOUR
THAT COULD SIT UP.

Laura says WHOA.
SO ROBOTS WHALE GO REALLY FAR
BACK IN OUR HISTORY.

Lucas says THAT'S SO COOL.
WALTER WE WANT YOU TO STICK
AROUND TO PLAY A GAME CALLED
ROBOT OR NOT THAT YOU INVENTED.

Walter says YEAH, SURE.

Laura says BUT FIRST ANOTHER VERY
IMPORTANT TYPE OF ROBOT.
CHECK THIS OUT.

A voice says ROBOT DANCE WITH THE CAST OF
BILLY ELLIOTT THE MUSICAL.

A clip shows young dancers doing the robot dance.

The opening of a show called "Thunder Wheel" rolls.

The announcer says THUNDERWHEEL!

In a pink wig, Laura stands next to a game wheel and says HELLO AND WELCOME TO GAME

In animation, a spaceship lands on a deserted planet with a caption that reads "The adventures of Cosmo and Dot."

A blue faced creature babbles on a weird looking phone while he sits on a rock.

A man in a gold spacesuit steps out of the spaceship and says HEY, BLACK FIN.
HELLO!
YOO-HOO!
HEY, ALIEN FRIEND OF MINE!
HEY, BLACK FIN.
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!

He pokes him and says HI, HI, HI, HI, HI.
HI, HI, HI, HI, HI.
HELLO.

He plays the trumpet to call Black Fin's attention.

Black Fin gets mad at him and mumbles something at him in alien language.

The man says HUH?

Back in the spaceship, he says I JUST WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND.
HOW DO I GET HIS ATTENTION?

A robot says CALCULATING PROBLEM.
THE POLITE THING TO DO WOULD BE
TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE DONE
THEIR CONVERSATION AND THEN TRY
TO TALK TO THEM.

A caption reads "Be patient."

The spaceman says OKAY.
BUT WHAT IF IT TAKES ALL DAY?

The robot says IF IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, OR
IF IT'S AN EMERGENCY, YOU CAN
TRY SAYING: EXCUSE ME.
EXPLAIN THAT YOU ARE SORRY TO
INTERRUPT BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING
IMPORTANT TO TELL HIM.

The spaceman says GOT IT.
THANKS, DOT.

He goes back out and says EXCUSE ME.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU WANT
TO HANG OUT.

Black Fin says I THINK THAT'S AWESOME.
YEAH.
ONE SEC.

He hangs up and OKAY, SO HOW DO YOU PUT A BABY
ASTRONAUT TO SLEEP?

The spaceman says HOW?

Black Fin says YOU ROCK IT.
[Laughter]

The robot says IF YOU HAVE TO INTERRUPT
SOMEBODY, ALWAYS SAY "EXCUSE ME."
FIRST.

Lucas says WELCOME BACK TO THE TREE
FORT.
WALTER HERE, SO EXCITED TO HAVE
YOU.

Laura says YES, WE'VE GOT WALTER THE
SCIENTIST AND ON THE LINE TO
PLAY A PRETTY COOL ROBOT GAME.
HEY.

Ayoub says HI.

Lucas says OKAY, WALTER HERE IS GOING TO
SHOW YOU SOMETHING, AND IT'S
LIKE AN IMAGE OF SOMETHING AND
YOU HAVE TO TELL US IF YOU THINK
IT'S A ROBOT OR NOT, OKAY?

Ayoub says OKAY.

Lucas says ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE OUR FIRST IMAGE.

Laura says LET'S DO IT.

Walter says LET'S START WITH WHAT MIGHT
BE AN EASY ONE.

Laura says A CACTUS.

Lucas says WELL, WE KNOW IT'S PRICKLY.

Laura says WE DO.

Ayoub says NO.

Lucas says NOT A ROBOT?

Ayoub says NO, NOT A ROBOT.

Lucas says I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.
WALTER?

Walter says I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A ROBOT
EITHER.

Laura says CORRECT!

Lucas says IT'S NOT ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE, RIGHT?

Laura says A HUMAN DID NOT MAKE THAT.

Lucas says ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO
MAKE IT A BIT HARDER FOR YOU.
HERE COMES THE SECOND PICTURE.

Walter says OKAY.

Lucas says A PROGRAMMABLE INDUSTRIAL
ARM.

Laura says HMM.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Ayoub says YES.

Lucas says WALTER?

Walter says YEAH, I'D SAY YES FOR SURE,
ABSOLUTELY.
THESE ARE THE ROBOTS THAT WE SEE
IN OUR INDUSTRY TODAY, RIGHT?

Laura says COOL.

Walter says PUTTING CARS TOGETHER, EVEN
WRAPPING CANDY.

Lucas says SO HUMANS ARE USING ROBOTS TO
MAKE ITEMS, COOL.

Laura says YEAH, THEY ARE GIVEN A TASK,
RIGHT?

Walter says YEAH.

Laura says COOL.

Lucas says NEXT ONE.

Ayoub says OKAY.

Lucas says THIS IS AN ALARM CLOCK.

Laura says ALARM CLOCK?
I DON'T KNOW.

Lucas says THIS COULD GO EITHER WAY.

Ayoub says NO.

Lucas says NO.

Laura says WHAT DO YOU THINK, WALTER?

Walter says WELL, IF WE USE YOUR
DEFINITION EARLIER, IT HAS TO BE
ABLE TO SENSE AND ACT WITHIN THE
WORLD.
PERHAPS NOT.
PERHAPS NOT.

Laura says OH, NO.

Walter says ALTHOUGH IT DOES KEEP TRACK
OF TIME AND IT DOES HAVE AN
ALARM.

Lucas says IT HAS A TASK.

Laura says OKAY, AMAZING.
THIS ONE?

Lucas says CELLPHONE.

Laura says I DON'T KNOW.

Lucas says ME EITHER.

Ayoub says YES.

Walter says I LIKE THAT HE SAID YES.
I LIKE YOUR THINKING.
MAYBE.

Laura says MAYBE.

Lucas says IT CAN BE BECAUSE WE CAN
PROGRAM IT?
WHY?

Walter says YOU CAN PROGRAM IT.
YOU CAN HAVE IT ACT TO MAKE
ACTIONS FOR YOU.
MAYBE IF YOU CONNECT IT TO
SOMETHING BIGGER, RIGHT, SO THAT
IT CAN HAVE PHYSICAL ACTIONS I
WOULD EXTEND IT.

Lucas says I LOVE.
LET'S HEAR OUR LAST ONE HERE.

Laura says ONE MORE?

Lucas says LET'S GO FOR THE GOLD.
THIS IS THE HUMANOID MACHINE.

Laura says HUMANOID MACHINE.

Ayoub says YES.

Walter says YES, I THINK SO TOO!

Laura says YES!
I MEAN, IT DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE
A ROBOT, THAT ONE.

Lucas says THAT IS.
THANK YOU FOR PLAYING.

Walter says LOOKS LIKE WHAT WE THINK IS A
ROBOT.

Laura says AND THANK YOU, WALTER, FOR
TEACHING US MORE ABOUT ROBOTS.

Walter says MY PLEASURE.

Lucas says ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

Laura says THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN
THE FORT.

Lucas says WALTER, WE'LL CATCH YOU NEXT
TIME.

Walter says YOU BET.

Laura says BYE, WALTER [Applause].

Lucas says GOOD LUCK AT THE SCIENCE
CENTRE.
OKAY, WE GOT TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
KIDZFEST ON SATURDAY, COME SEE
US.
IT'S GOING TO BE FUN FULL OF
GAMES, PUP ACADEMY IS COMING UP

Laura plays the ukulele and they sing a song that says SO LONG

GREATER
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO YOU

Lucas says UNTIL TOMORROW.
WHICH IS WOULD YOU RATHER

The song goes SO LONG
