PASADENA - Say "How do you do" to Mike and Michelle, face-to-face tutors for English learners. They'll correct your grammar, answer questions, converse on a variety of topics, be there 24/7, and won't charge a dime. And they're doing very well, thank-you. The on-screen "English Tutor" interactive robots and their creator, adjunct Professor Ron Chang Lee of Pasadena City College, are heading to England's Exeter University in October as one of four finalists in the 2011 Loebner Prize for Artificial Intelligence. "I always wanted to create something to help students, like a tutor," said Lee, who has taught English as a Second Language at PCC since 2001. "It's a talking robot, so (students) are not afraid of asking anything," Lee said.
