One thing we are sure about robots is that anything you can write about them will already be out of date by the t 1 it is read.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.
