It was a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer. Soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.
Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments (部门) and into your panies including GE are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves.
What's behind this new robot revolution (变革) It's partly a matter of technology. Devices (装置) that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more powerful. A bigger part of the story is on the demand (需求) side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Considering more and more people can afford robots, the time seems ripe (成熟) to introduce robots to the ordinary family.
