TWO SPEAKING ROBOTS EXHIBITION IN. LONDON Australian Fress Association. | LONDON,- 15th September. • London's population has been increased by two robots, displaying startling ability to move and talk. One named Brie will to-day open a model engineering exhibition at London, making a speech suitable to the occasion. Brie is six feet of steel, in*which wireless mechanism is concealed. It not only moves its head and arms at words of command, but can differentiate between drinks. Asked whether it preferred ' ginger ale or double Scotch, it replied "double Scotch." The inventor ofr'ers robots similar to iSrie for £150. The other robot, named Ronald, is mystifying audiences at the Queen's Hall. Its creator is Captain Koberts, who invented the wireless torpedo. He makes Ronald come to life by means of an electric torch, which plays upon the steel body, which then moves and converses at the inventor's will.
