ROBOTS CAN HELP US inuous, Pre.
A. Reading
Robots are machines that look and work like people. Robot servants for homes
will be available within the next ten years. They are called "house-bots". House-bots
can sing a song to wake you up in the morning, walk around the house to guard it, and
instruct other robots to vacuum the carpet. House-bots recognize voice commands.
Some robots teach English. The South Korean government is spending $45,000,000 to
put 500 English teaching robots in preschools by 2011 and 8.000 in preschools and
kindergartens by 2013. The robots will tell stories and conduct sing-a-longs.
