In the future, robots might look, talk and walk like people. Some scientists say you may even have robots as friends in the future! But to make this happen, robots must be able to think and have emotions (情感). Scientists are making robots that can act like animals.
Professor Ayanna Luc Steels from France is a man behind Sony's robot dog "Aibo". Aibo can understand over 70 words and find its own way around a house! But Professor Steels really wants to make robots that can act and think like people. "Today, robots, like actors, may show emotions,
but they don't feel them," Professor Steels says. "I want to change that."
"Robots will be more like people in the future," Professor Steels says. But most of them will still only do jobs people can't do or don't want to do. Robots never get bored, tired or scared (恐惧的). So they are perfect for working in factories and in dangerous places.
