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 .

In the 1920's, Karl Capek from Czechoslovakia introduced the world's first robot on stage. His play was entitled "Rossum's Universal Robots."

All robots include 3 elements:
Body Control Behavior
According to the above definition, many objects are kind of robots.
For example:
Sometimes, a few of the objects we've classified above can be considered both robot and non-robot. Those that can fall into both categories include the car (it's a robot with cruise control), the TV (it's a robot if it has alarm capabilities), and the VCR (it's a non-robot if you're just playing a tape).Let’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.What kinds of work are robots usually
used for?Robots are made to perform different tasks. Many of them are used for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant for us human beings. In other cases, robots are used in repetitive, or boring tasks in which human performance might degrade (降低价值) over time. Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue.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.

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 WorksWhat’s your opinion about the three Laws of Robotics? Do you agree with Isaac Asimov’s ideas? Discuss with your partner whether you can add more about it.Homework1. Look up the new words and expressions of the reading in the dictionary.
