                                                        THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS.

 

Who do you think will make the most use of robots in the future – teenagers or elderly people? Although we all know that in general younger people feel more comfortable with new technology than their parents and grandparents, robotics scientists are predicting that as robot technology advances, human-like machines will become something we associate with the older generation. That’s both because people who are less mobile and independent are more likely to need machines to carry out their household chores, and because older people tend to feel more confident dealing with technology if it looks, sounds and behaves like a person. Although there are, of course, plenty of “silver surfers” who can browse the Internet as well as their grandchildren, there are probably many more over-60s who convince themselves that they can’t use anything computerised.

In Japan there are already experimental robots in existence that can help people to get out of bed, to get back on their feet after they fall over and even to wash their hair. Robot designers are now close to creating robots that can not only remind people of when they need to take medication, but also administer the medication just as a nurse would if necessary, and even send video reports on patients to doctors. Before long, there could be robots that can act as all-round carers with the minimal of human input. They won’t even need a human being to give them a power supply. Instead, they will know how to plug themselves in when they need to be charged up. One expert in artificial intelligence has said that these care assistant robots have the potential to revolutionise people’s lives as much as the invention of reading glasses and the discovery of fire. People in need of constant care will have no problem finding it via robotic nurses, and human carers will benefit from more breaks.

Robots are also being designed to help elderly people who are in good health to maintain their wellbeing and improve their fitness. Researchers at the University of Southern California have created a robotic gym instructor which demonstrates the movements it asks people to make. The robot has a built-in video camera, which it uses to “watch” the movements of the person who’s working out in front of it. If he or she does the exercises right, it praises them verbally. Perhaps surprisingly, when its designers tested the robotic gym instructor on people of all ages, and asked them whether they would prefer to take instructions from a gym instructor on a video screen or the gym robot, their creation was by far the most popular choice, and among people across the generations!

1  According to the text, who will benefit from the new technology in the future?

  A teens with mobility problems

  B people who have difficulty surfing the Internet

  C older people who need help at home

  D teens who are not confident around technology

 

 2 The Japanese robots mentioned in the second paragraph 

  A have been designed by doctors.

  B are still in a testing phase.

  C are used in scientific experiments.

  D are very human-like.

 

 3 According to the artificial intelligence expert, the Japanese robots

  A will help people with reading problems.

  B will run on minimal energy.

  C will completely replace human carers.

  D will make a nurse’s job easier.

 

 

  4     The robotic gym instructor

  A shows people how to do their exercises.

  B isn't as popular as the video instructor.

  C can suggest how people can improve their fitness.

  D is mostly liked by young people.

 

B . Read the text again and mark the following statements as T (true) or F (false).

with technology if it resembles
humans. .......
