What do you think a domestic robot could do for a family in the future
There has been a lot of work to design domestic robots lately, and they may soon be a reality. Many of these robots are being designed for the handicapped or the elderly. For example, a handicapped person or an elderly person who has trouble moving around the house could be helped by a robot. The robot can also cook and feed people when they need help. Most of the domestic robots are simplistic, some are connected to Wi-Fi home networks or the smart environments and they are autonomous to a high degree.

“I am doing as I am programmed!” answered Tony.
Just then the ladies who had rang the doorbell appeared.
“You didn’t answer the doors, so we just decided to come in,” Gladys said. “See! I told you! That’s the man she was talking sweetly to!”
“Good heavens!” shouted all the ladies.
“He’s no man!”answered Larry. “He ’s the robot I designed to take care of Claire. I just never imagined...”
“A robot, this handsome, this helpful with decorating skills, and housework ” examined one of the ladies.
“I want him!”demanded Gladys.

offers sympathy; treats people kindly; warm body
programmed to appear sensitive and caring; always the same
can show true sensitivity and care; emotions can change
Critical thinking
1. Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot Why
Yes, I do, because the robot thinks and acts like human beings, which can make us forget the differences between robots and human beings. Our love for someone mainly comes from emotion instead of the matter of what we are made of.
Various answers.....
2. What kind of relationship do you think humans and robots should keep Why
Science technology is a doubled-edged sword
