They are fun to watch. However, some

For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to 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.

做...怎么样
e.g. It's easy to say.
It's an easy thing to say.It will be difficult to make them really think like a
human. 把机器人做的像人一样思考将会很难。

语后面做真正的主语。
= To make them really think like a human will be
difficult.

be able to 与 can 的区别
1. can只有现在式和过去式;be able to可用于
现在时、过去时和将来时, 但它没有进行时。
e.g. I'll be able to speak English in another few months.
2. be able to 多表示“人”有能力或技巧做某事,一般不用
于指物;而 can 表示人、物的“能”、“会”都可以
e.g. This kind of car can run very fast.
be able to do sth.能够做...3. can 与 be able to 不能重叠使用。例句:
(误) He can be able to do it well.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!
