Robots have built a big house in Switzerland using 3D-printed materials.It is the first house made by robots for people to live in.It is more environmentally friendly and safer than man-made houses.
The creators said the big house would inspire the future of building.“This is a new way of seeing architecture(建筑),”said one of the creators.“How you build is important.”
The big house was built completely from robot-made materials.It used 60% less cement(水泥) than a man-made house.Its ceilings(天花板) were made with a 3D printer.There are 35 parts in the house and each one was built in 60 to 90 minutes.It means that the robots built the full house in just 48 hours.
It is not the first time for robots to build houses.The Chinese used 3D printers to build 10 houses in a day in 2014.They created a building the next year.And Italians built a house in just 48 hours.
Scientists said one day they could send robots to build houses on the moon.We are curious about how we’re building for the future.

What will the world of tomorrow look like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the Earth today.New technology may solve old problems,and it may also create new ones.No technology is perfect.Each has advantages and disadvantages,as these three examples.
When we dream about the future,many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car.We could fly at 480 km per hour,avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.However,if the cars become popular,there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future.3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts,and man-made body parts,such as ears.As we move into the future,3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people.The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally,people are trying to build a robot suit(套装).This is an electronic suit.It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way.It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.However,one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead,it is easy to imagine a future.We will be able to fly to work,print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads.Although there are some problems to solve before all of these are possible,we can certainly dream of a world.In this world,technology makes people’s life easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.

The big house was built completely from robot-made materials.It used 60% less cement(水泥) than a man-made house.Its ceilings(天花板) were made with a 3D printer.There are 35 parts in the house and each one was built in 60 to 90 minutes.It means that the robots built the full house in just 48 hours.
It is not the first time for robots to build houses.The Chinese used 3D printers to build 10 houses in a day in 2014.They created a building the next year.And Italians built a house in just 48 hours.

What will the world of tomorrow look like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the Earth today.New technology may solve old problems,and it may also create new ones.No technology is perfect.Each has advantages and disadvantages,as these three examples.
When we dream about the future,many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car.We could fly at 480 km per hour,avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.However,if the cars become popular,there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future.3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts,and man-made body parts,such as ears.As we move into the future,3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people.The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally,people are trying to build a robot suit(套装).This is an electronic suit.It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way.It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.However,one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead,it is easy to imagine a future.We will be able to fly to work,print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads.Although there are some problems to solve before all of these are possible,we can certainly dream of a world.In this world,technology makes people’s life easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
