Question

How soon will robots become so clever that they will be able to do jobs which human can do, such as teaching language or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen in twenty years.

UAS, one London company, has already developed a kind of machine. ①It can be used as “home-helps” for old people. It can also do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor. The company says that the machine will accept simple voice instructions and that the machine will be controlled by a latest IBM microcomputer (微机). Mr. Henry, the director of UAS, believes that his company will develop the clever robots for using in industry. By this time they will begin to sell the machines into ordinary homes.

Robots can do much housework, such as washing dishes, cleaning the house and cooking meals. ②By the way, the price of them may be as little as＄1,000.

But Dr. Sandra believes we have a long way to develop truly intelligent (真正智能化的) machines. She says, it can cook an egg. But if one of eggs is bad, it will still cook. If you ask a robot to do something unusual that needs a man to think, a robot is useless.
