look like other machines of today’s hight technology. Serious research on intelligent robots began in the
1965 in several countries. Now we are on the fifth generation of robots. One of the kinds of robots is that
they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous
smell of paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it doesn’t bother a robot. Robots can work in nuclear
power plants and in undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans.
