robot might change our way of life
The kind of robot I really want is only found in
science fiction stories and movies. Most robots
that exist today are used in industry to make cars or
other items. Some are used to paint or pack items.
Robots in movies often look like humans, while
real-life factory robots usually have only one big
arm to do the work they are built to do.
Robots have computers for “brains.” People
can program them with a set of directions to
“teach” them a job. If something goes wrong,
robots can’t teach themselves how to fix it – yet!
Can You Figure it Out?
Check out my robot! Can you fill
in the number where he has:
1. cameras for eyes
2. feet for moving from place to place
3. computer “brain” area; panel for repairs
4. bendable, flexible arms to reach
and stretch
5. microphones for ears to pick up sound
6. a loudspeaker for “talking”
