Advance of the homebot
Robots are cool but we do not really use them very much. So are they just for fun and will they ever be anything more than toys? We associate robots with countries like Japan and South Korea. In these countries, people use robots in industry and they are also beginning to use them at home. Thats where the name comes from homebots.
The homebot industry makes robots to help disabled and elderly people at home. OLogic, a robot-making company, has designed a robot called Follow-me. It helps people with walking difficulties to do everyday things like carrying their washing or dishes.
The homebot designers do lots of tests to make sure their robots will work well. First, they test their robots in special mini-houses to find out how they will react to commands, like: Get the keys, Bring me the phone or Turn the TV on. The robots seem to work quite well. However, using a robot in the real world is much more difficult. The things a robot needs to get are not always put in the same place, e.g. shoes are not always next to the door and keys are not always on the table. There are a lot of things that get in the way of the robots sensors, like furniture or people moving around.
The designers realise that a robot has to be able to interact with humans, not bump into them and fall over. They are interested in the way humans and technology could communicate. However, they may have gone too far … The designers created Hotsy, a microwave, and Mr Cool, a fridge. Hotsy and Mr Cool have personalities. They recognise your voice and you talk to them to make them work. The fridge will only open if you ask it. These robots can develop a relationship with you depending on how kind you are to them. They may decide if they like you or not! And when you leave they can chat to each other. Would you like to have a companion like this?
