(Reuters) - A Korean visitor embraces Nini, an Olympic 'Fuwa' mascot, at the new Beijing Capital International Airport July 23, 2008. Five robots, modelled after the official Olympic mascots, "the five friendlies" or "Fuwa", have been entertaining people at the shiny new terminal in Beijing for over a week. These robots can recite over 100 sentences in either Chinese or English. They can perform simple greetings in 12 languages, sing Olympic songs, take photographs, give directions and recommend scenic spots for days out in the city. The Fuwa were created to embody natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow and the fifth represents the Olympic Flame.
