One thing we are sure about robots is that anything you can write about them will already be out of date by the t 1 it is read.
That's how fast robot technology is m 2 ahead.
All over the country and the world,in universities,factories and laboratories,scientists are studying how to build b 3 robots.
The greatest progress in robot making will come in the robot brains,though it's still too early to make a new kind of computer that can think like the human brain.Most scientists say computers will go on g 4 smaller,cheaper and more powerful.
Your next robot will be much,much smaller than the one you u 5 now.Andthat's very good news for anyone trying to build a man-like robot.
We would like our robot to be able to speak,walk and see,just 1 6 us.This kind of robot had been made in the laboratory,but it cannot talk much,and cannot see all the things a 7 it.
With tomorrow's faster computers it will be a different story.Robots will be able to see everything and talk to you like a f 8 .
Another exciting thing is that we are making lot of progress in the robot's senses.It can f 9 and sense things around it.
We believe that many built-in sensors will let your next robot feel the shape of the thing it is holding in hand.They will also let the robot p 10 up anything,from an egg to heavy motor part,without dropping it.
