It is able to perform repetitive tasks more quickly, cheaply, and accurately than humans.What is a robot? A robot is a machine designed to do jobs that are usually performed by humans. Robots are programmed and controlled by a computer . Have you ever played with robot toys? robotDo you want to play with the real robots?some real robotsGuess what these robots are doing.Playing footballRiding/Cycling Playing musicDancingLet’s look at the pictures below and see what robots can look like.SpiderDinosaur Dragonfly SnakeMantis (螳螂)螳螂HumansHuge armWhat can robots do

various shapes for various uses.Why use Robots?There are many benefits to using robots instead of humans. The good thing about robots is that they will never get bored, and they will do things more efficiently than people. Also, robots never get sick, or need to rest. They will never need time off, or lunch breaks. Sometimes, when a task is too dangerous or difficult for a human, a robot will be able to do it without any risks or problems. Why we study robots?Search enginesLaborScienceMedicine/

a robot?
A. Bicycle. B. Traffic light.
C. Microwave. D. Photocopier.
2. Which of the following can be
considered both a robot and a non-
robot?
A. Alarm Clock. B. Motor Bike.
C. Microwave. D. VCR. Robot Quiz3. Why would a company choose to use
robots instead of humans?
A. They never get sick.
B. They don't need a lunch break.
C. They'll never be bored.
D. All of the above.
4. Robots can do work that is too _____
for humans.
A. fun B. scary
C. dangerous D. predictable Let’s look at some movie posters below which are about robots. Do you know the names of these movies?Transformers 《变形金刚》I, Robot 《我，机器人 》The Matrix 《黑客帝国》 AI - Artificial Intelligence 《人工智能》 Doraemon 《机器猫》 Do you think it is possible for a
robot to:
think for itself?
have feelings?
have its own needs and desires?
look and feel like a human being?Speaking & WritingImagine you are engineers in a company that makes robots and you have been asked to design a new type of robot. Your robot can be used :In the home (2) In a workplace
(3)In the street
(4)In the natural environment
(5)In space or anywhere elseYou are divided into groups of four to design your robot. You can follow the steps as below:1.Decide the purpose of the robot.
2. Make a list of the abilities the robot has.
3.Draw a picture on a piece of paper and name its parts and explain what each part does.
4.Write a paragraph describing the robot and what it can do.
5. Introduce your design to your classmates. Tips on designing your robots:Consider the six major robot characteristics: 1、Looks: What does the robot look like? Is there a reason for it to look as it does? 2、Sensing: How does the robot “know” or figure out what’s in its environment?3. Movement: How does the robot move? 4.Operation(操作): How does the robot move or operate other objects ? 5.Energy: How is the robot powered? Can it have more than one energy source? 6.Intelligence(智慧): How does the robot “think”?A sample writing:The rubbish collectorThe rubbish collector is a robot about half the size of a small car. Its body is square and contains a large rubbish bin inside it. It has a camera attached to the top front of its body. Also at the front is a pair of arms. Underneath it has four wheels and six legs. With the camera it can “see” rubbish such as paper, glass, and plastic. If the surface of the ground is smooth, it runs on its wheels, and if the ground is rough, it unfolds its legs and walks.When it sees a piece of rubbish, it stops and uses its arms to pick it up and put it in its rubbish bin. However, when it sees a person, an animal or a plant, it goes around it as it is able to recognize when something is not a piece of rubbish.The company should make this robot as it would be very popular with schools. It would clean the outside grounds of the school and so give the students more time to spend on their studies. It would also be a great advantage to have at sports grounds or any other area where rubbish is dropped by the public.Do you know who he is?What’s the relationship between Isaac Asimov and robots?Isaac AsimovIsaac Asimov is an American scientist and author, who wrote science fiction, proposed three (and then he added Law Zero) Laws of Robotics (in the 1940's):
Law Zero: A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. Law One: A robot may not injure a human being or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm.
Law Two: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Law Three: A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. Short Story Collections:
I, Robot The Rest of the Robots
The Complete Robot
Robot Dreams Robot Visions
Novels:
The Caves of Steel The Naked Sun
The Robots of Dawn
Robots and Empire
Autobiography: It's Been a Good Life Isaac Asimov’s Main WorksHomework1. Look up the new words and expressions of the reading in the dictionary.
