Do you think you will have your own robot?
When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They will also be fun to watch. Some scientists believe that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
In the future, there will be more robots everywhere. And we will have less work to do. New robots will have many different shapes. Some robots will look like animals. In India, scientists make robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, this snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. We never know what will happen in the future.
