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 do 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!
