Robots
When will we have robots? We already have many kinds of robots!
Industries use a variety of robots and now robots are becoming more
common in the home.
The Husqvarna company makes a lawn mowing robot called the Auto
Mower. The robot has sensors that detect where objects are in the yard and
it maneuvers around them. The robot can cut the grass while you relax on
the patio with a glass of lemonade! Also, Eureka now makes a robotic
vacuum cleaner. Like the robot lawn mower, the vacuum cleaner
automatically detects where the furniture is and vacuums around it.
Cars are becoming robots now that many cars have GPS (Global Positioning
Systems) on them. A car with a GPS system can give you directions on how
to go somewhere, tell you where the closest gas station is, and, some day
in the future, will drive itself. You will take a nap or read while the car
drives itself to your destination.
We even have robotic pets now. The Sony company makes a robotic dog
named Aibo that can sit, stand, and walk like a regular dog but can also
communicate and take pictures! Aibo understands certain commands, like a
dog does, such as "Sit down", "Stand up", "Turn right", etc. If you ask Aibo
a question such as "How old are you?", its eyes will flash the number of
years old it is. Aibo is also a great guard dog. He can patrol the yard and
take pictures with a built in camera of anything suspicious. Lengua Extranjera III
