篇一：Will Robots Replace Humans in the future

Will Robots Replace Humans in the future

In recent year, there are many inventions about robots. In some

developed countries, robots even have been used in all fields. Time goes by, in the future, will robots replace human?

In my opinion, it is unnecessary to worry about if the robot will

dominate our world in the near future. Why? Let me ask you some questions.

What can robots do?

Robots were invented to service human beings. They do some dull and dangerous work instead of humans. Because robots will never get bored and they do not afraid of dangerous. For example, a few years later, robots will go to a war, no more human. It even can be designed as an advanced killing weapon. Although there are a great part of the work will be replaced by a robot, what a robot does is only running its master's programme.

Can robots choose or decide to do things?

Robots are similar with human beings, but just in appearance.

They may have similar shape, they are quite different in nature. Because robots can not think or they have no emotion. Think about you are a doctor, you can think how to cure, use which kind of medicine. What a robot do just some rigid tips. So they will never take the place of human doctors.

Robot just is a tool?

Robot is a tool. Rather than each robot replacing one person,

robots could make time for people to focus on more important things.

Then we can devote more time and energy to do some usefull things. So, we should make a good use of it.

Mankind is just the dominator of the world, robot assists merely

the human life and production that carries out society. But it is hoped that the human and robots can coexist peacefully in the future.

In the past, people could know how their children would live. Now things are changing so quickly. So we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. Here is how scientists see what the life will be like in twenty years.You’re sitting in your car, but you are not driving. That’s OK. The car can go without a driver, and with its computers and cameras. Your car can know how to get your home safely.You’re hungry, so you go to the kitchen as soon as you get home.

You ask for some food by computer. And now they’ve arrived. Your kitchen has a two-way refrigerator (冰箱). It opens to the outside to receive things for you. You've already paid for food. You can pay the money from your bank. Nobody uses cash (现金).What’s for lunch? In the old days, you often stopped to buy food in the street. Now you use a small machine. It has found out you need more vegetables and less fat. So your food-cooking machine makes you a salad. After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work. Thanks to your new computer, you almost never go into the office any more.The computer shows a message from a worker of your office in another country. Your computer puts his words into English. As you wait, you think about what to do at night. If you want to see a film, you can stay at home and see any film. The films are sent to you on the Internet.

阅读理解

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.

In1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg, ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, fight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?

The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.

In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.

These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染).Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do “dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do “clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the place of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
