One possible version:
Here I would like to introduce a new type of intelligent household robot to you. In recent years, an intelligent robot, powered by solar energy which is environmentally friendly, has been designed to provide everyday assistance in our life by scientists in our country.
So many powerful functions does this intelligent robot have that it can help us in various ways. Firstly, it can do all the housework, such as cooking, washing and cleaning windows. As a result, people can be freed from heavy labour. Secondly, if used appropriately, the robot is capable of taking good care of the elderly and the sick, lightening their family members' burden of caring for them. Of course, people can also take advantage of this robot by not only communicating with it but surfing the Internet through it to collect large amounts of information. What's more, it can even entertain people if it receives their voice commands, such as playing songs and telling jokes.
There's no doubt that the creation of this intelligent robot shows the rapid development of science and technology in our country. I'm firmly convinced it will be a good helper in a family, making life more convenient, and I'm looking forward to the life with this robot.
