Спересказом этого текста: 99 science fiction writers, including jules verne and isaac asimov, wrote about rockets to the moon, nuclear power, the internet and robots. all of these things are now a reality: that is course, except for the robots.so where are these household robots we were promised? where are our robot, helpers to do the ironing, t, cook dinner, walk the к, dog, clean the house hk and so on? it is true that we have already got some robots which can perform a single task such as vacuuming but what about the humanlike companions we were promised that can walk, talk and cater for all our needs? perhaps it is much more difficult in practice than in theory to build such a robot. the truth is that for such a robot to exist it must be able to think and scientists simply don't how to give robots this ability.they don't have the knowledge to give a robot intelligence or the power of reasoning. worse still, it seems that they may never work it out. researchers say that the best way to overcome this problem is to study the human brain and try and create an artificial brain that copies its functions. nevertheless, scientists have already overcome other problems such as mobility. for example, honda's asimo robot can walk, run and climb stairs without any problems. also, robots can now look more human thanks to roboticist david hanson's invention of a skin covering called frubber which has been used on robots such as replies q2.language may be another obstacle as robots have to be able to understand figurative speech such as idioms, as well as gestures and emotional responses. all in all, experts are divided as to when robot assistants may become a reality. some say five years, others say fifty. who knows - soon household robots may be as common as home computers.
Science fiction writers wrote about different wonders and robots. But robots are not a reality. Where are our robots which help us to do the ironing, cook dinner, walk the dog, clean the house and so on? Perhaps it is much more difficult in practice than in theory to build such a robot. Our scientists don't have the knowledge to give a robot intelligence or the power of reasoning. Perhaps they may never work it out. Researchers say that the best way to overcome this problem is to study the human brain and try create an artificial brain. Nevertheless, scientists have already overcome other problems such as mobility. Also, robots can now look more human. Language may be another problem as robots have to be able to understand man's speech. Experts are divided as to when robot assistants may become a reality. Some ofscisay five years, others say fifty. Maybe soon household robots may be as common as home computers.
