Further reading

Read the passage and answer the questions.

The first robot was invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and smarter than people.

In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do dangerous and difficult jobs for humans. Robots also help disabled people. Today, many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, they might use robots instead of dogs.

One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very smart. It knows how fast its owner walks. The owner wears a special belt. The belt sends instructions to the dog, such as “stop here” “turn left” or “turn right”.                                                   

In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people take care of themselves. Its owner can talk to it. It follows instructions such as “turn the page” or “make a cup of coffee”.

Robots are also used in hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because it has a map of the hospital in its memory. 

Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.
