　　Since people begin their ingenuity, we have devised increasinglyintelligent robots to help us coping with dangerous and burdensome work. We continuously confer various human capabilities on machines, and now try to think what will happen if robotics become even more advanced?

　　As far as I’m concerned, in the near future the modern world will be populated by intelligent devices which can remove much human labor. Our work in factory will down by robot assembly arms. Our cooking, washing and other housework will complete by robot server. Our public security willmanaged by tireless robot-polices. In addition, due to the micro-mechanics, there will be more robot systems which can performhighly difficult surgery with sub-millimeter accuracy to help patients alleviate their pain and suffering.

　　But, as I think, if robots are to reach the next stage, there are still much real challenge. We all know that human brainis far more complicated, and the most intelligent robot system will nevercatch up with human mind’s ability. So I have to say, there is still a long way for the robot technology to go.
