Will robots change our lives in the future? It's a funny question to ask when they're changing our lives now in so many ways and they have been for years. From the first time you saw a toaster pop up by itself, we've casually accepted that machines can be trusted to do things for us.

They record our shows, cook our food, play our music, and even run our cars. We just don't see it because these "robots" don't have a face we can talk to or a butt we can kick.

Technically robots are automatic motorised tools, but they're generally known as clunky humanoid foils that have bumbled about popular media for almost a century - mechanised characters of humour, or menace without status, rendering their violent removal a minor plot without guilt.

Boom, there goes another one. The hero saves the day.

Sad actually. Mobile robots have gotten a bad rap from a lot of prejudicial movies and video games, and not the least from the unfulfilled promises of the 20th century. What's taking these scientists so long? If robots are coming, then why can't I just buy one to do my work while I watch TV?

Well, if you do watch TV, you'll "know" that's a recipe for disaster (which ain't true, but whatever...), which is why, after a lifetime building robots the old "serious" way, I decided to introduce something new to the mix: funny robots with personality flaws.

Since 2004 we've sold millions worldwide which has certainly changed some peoples lives and attitudes (mainly kids), and not one of which has ever threatened a single 007 agent. All part of my plan to get robots out of negative fiction and into entertaining reality, where yearly I foist my new devices on an unsuspecting populace.

But it's not world domination I'm after. I know four things robots can do right now that will change our lives for the future, and all in a good way. The first is entertainment (done that), the second is grunt work in dangerous places (coming up), third is elderly care, and last but not least is telepresence shopping, tourism, and assistance.

Imagine sitting at your computer and controlling a video game character through a mall or market, except it's not a game, it's a robot shopping for you in Tokyo while you sit comfortably in London. With a live video and audio feed so you could haggle, you drive a legged humanoid robot about your size so you get a good sense of what would fit, and afterwards you go for a walk to see what the countryside has to offer.

In a future where the cost and inconvenience of travel will likely rise, why not rent-a-rob for an hour just to make sure that resort is up to standard? Or to check in on your mum? Or to help out at a disaster site? Or just get outside in anonymity?

Right now all modern technology is designed to bring the world to you; phone, radio, television, internet, but if trends continue, robots will soon bring you to the world, everywhere, and at the speed of thought. A mind and a hand where it's needed while you sit safely at home and run the show.

It's a future goal -- something we know we can do if we can urge the market towards it, but it's one I like, and might even be able to do something about.

If it works, robots won't just change our lives in the future, they'll expand them. Not just for fun, but for necessity. We've taken the first steps into welcoming them into our homes, we just have to wait a bit to proctor them into making us more human.

It'll be good I think.

Sinh nhật cuối cùng thứ mười, tôi đã được thông báo để tặng một robot đồ chơi tuyệt vời.

Robot trông ngớ ngẩn như một cậu bé. Chỉ trả tiền khoảng hai inch trẻ em cao, được làm bằng nhựa cứng và màu xanh nhạt sáng bóng.

Đầu to như một ô vuông được đặt trên cơ thể, nhìn không thấy cổ phiếu nào có vẻ bướng bỉnh lạ lùng! Trên hai sợi ăng-ten đầu tiên mọc ra hai bên là hai tai lớn có hình dạng như một nửa màu cam ở hai bên của khuôn mặt được gắn với hai vòng tròn rất lớn. Thưa chú, cũng như hộp hình chữ nhật thẳng đứng, với những đường nét trang trí nổi lên vẽ lên trông giống như bạn mặc áo giáp. Đằng sau một thung lũng nhỏ chứa khoang có hai cục pin, nghiêng người lại gần núm nhựa màu đen. Hai bàn tay và bàn chân cũng là bàn do các ô vuông nhỏ liên kết với nhau và gắn vào cơ thể bằng các ốc vít. Vì vậy, ông có thể xoay chân tay của điều hướng dễ dàng.

Tôi bật công tắc lên, ngay lập tức robot làm việc đúng. Từ bụng của chú mình, tiếng chuông phát ra âm thanh cùng lúc chân cậu bắt đầu rời đi. Chân trang nghiêm, tay và vẫy tay với các bước nốt nhịp. Người vui nhất là người đứng đầu vừa rẽ phải, sau đó quay lại bên trái để tìm cách bắt giữ kẻ thù. Đi bộ, nhấn chân bàn hoặc góc tủ, tự động trả tiền tránh hướng khác. Từ điển raspy và chú của bước chân trong góc làm gián chạy trốn.

Trẻ em thích chơi với robot này, bạn thấy chú của bạn như một chút bồn chồn và thông minh.

Birthday last tenth, I was announced to donate a toy robots great.

Robots look silly as a little boy. Pay only about two inches tall children, is made of a hard plastic and shiny light blue color.

Head as big as a square box is placed on the body, looking not see shares that pay stubborn looks strange! On the first two antenna sprouting fibers turn out to the sides as two large ears shaped like C. orange halves on either side of the face mounted with two screws very big circle. Dear uncle, as well as the upright rectangular box, with decorative lines emerging draw up looking like you wear armor. Behind a small valley containing compartment has two batteries, leaned closer switch black plastic knob. Two hands and feet also the table due to the small square boxes linked together and attached to the body by the screws to. Thus, he could rotate limbs of easy navigation.

I turned on the switch knob up, immediately robot work right. From the belly of his uncle, the buzzer emits sound at the same time his legs began to walk away. Foot stately paced, hands and waving to the beat note steps. The funniest is the head just turned right, then back to the left as seeking to arrest enemies. Walking, hit the table leg or corner cabinet, pay automatically avoid another direction. Dictionary raspy and uncle's footsteps in the corner makes cockroaches flee panic.

Kids love to play with this robot, you see your uncle as a little restless and intelligent.

In future ,Robots have been developed by extended modern research, and are being used in numerous industries for achieving advantages which would not be possible with the human beings. Some of the advantages for using robots are mentioned below:
Operatin In Unsafe Surroundings.There are numerous industries where the surroundings are unsafe for the employment of human labor due to the existence of hazardous environments. Robots can be used effectively in such environments where handling of radioactive materials is involved, such as hospitals or nuclear establishments, where direct exposure to human beings can be dangerous for their health.Improvement In QualityRobots perform operations with superior exactitude, ensure uniformity of production due to which rejections are minimized, and reduce losses. Measurements and movements of tools being utilized are more accurate. Thus, the quality of the product manufactured is improved manifold compared to the performance by human beings.Increase In ProductionRobots have the ability to work continuously without pause, unlike human labor for which breaks and vacation are essential. Thus, production is increased by the utilization of robots in industrial applications, and consequently profits of the production unit are increased.Execute Boring And Repetitive WorkIn many production establishments work required to be executed is awfully boring, being cyclic and repetitive, due to which it is difficult for the operators to remain fully dedicated to their tasks and generate interest in their work. When tasks are monotonous, workers tend to be careless, thereby increasing the probability of accidents and malfunctions of machines. Utilization of robots has eliminated problems associated with boredom in production.Duty During Adverse HoursMost of the production units are required to function twenty-four hours, during day or night, on holidays, without any break so as to ensure increased production which is commensurate with the capacity of the machinery. Thus, human laborers who do not feel very comfortable working such odd hours can be employed accordingly. However, robots can be beneficially utilized whenever necessary.Safety And Health Of WorkersSince robots are capable of working in hazardous environments, more dangerous operations are being handled by robots. Thus the safety and health of workers is ensured, thereby reducing expenditures on health and medicines. Robots are now engaged in hoisting and moving heavy objects, and perform other unsafe tasks.
