Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 4
Will robots think like humans in the future
What will robots be like
in the future
What can robots do today
What are robots like in movies
When we watch movies about the future, we
sometimes see robots. They are usually like
human servants. They help with the housework
and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous
places.
Do You Think
You Will Have Your Own Robot
2. Today there are already robots working in
factories. Some can help to build cars, and
they do simple jobs over and over again.
Fewer people will do such jobs in the future
because they are boring, but robots will never
get bored.
3. Scientists are now trying to make robots
look like humans and do the same things
as we do. Some robots
in Japan can walk
and dance. They are
fun to watch.
However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human.
For example, scientist James White thinks that
robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are.
But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
4. Some scientists believe that there will be more
robots in the future. However, they agree it may
take hundreds of years. These new robots will
have many different shapes. Some will look like
humans, and others might look like animals.
In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings.
This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!
