The Seoul city government has put up a message wishing for "peace for Ukraine" against an image symbolizing Ukraine s flag on a large signboard plastered on the front wall of the South Korean capital city s library building.
The South Korean capital has started trialing pint-sized robots as teaching aids in kindergartens a pilot project the Seoul City Government said would help prepare the next generation for a high-tech future.
The “Alpha Mini” robot is just 24.5cm tall and can dance, lead sing-a-longs, recite stories and even teach martial arts moves, as children mimic its pushups and one-legged balances.
“The robots help with the kids’ creativity,” teacher Byun Seo-yeon told Agence France-Presse during a visit to the bright and busy Maru nursery in Seoul.
The robot’s eyes wink and blink and its pupils become heart-shaped during conversation.
