Напиши на английском языке сжатое изложение,придумав название для каждого абзаца по этому тексту! Where Are The ROBOTS? Science fiction writers, including Jules Veme and Isaac Asimov, wrote about rockets to the moon, nuclear power, the Internet and robots, All of these things are now a reality: that is of course, except for the robots. So where are these household robots we were promised? Where are our robot helpers to do the ironing, cook dinner, walk the dog, clean the house and so on? Researchers say that the best way to overcome this problem is to study the human brain and try and create an artificial brain that copies its functions. It is true that we have already got some robots which can perform a single task such as vacuuming the carpets or mowing the lawn, but what about the human-like companions we were promised that can walk, talk and cater for all our needs? Perhaps it is much more difficult in practice than in theory to build such a robot. Nevertheless, scientists have already overcome other problems such as mobility. For example. Honda's ASIMO robot can walk, run and climb stairs without any problems. Also, robots can now look more human thanks to roboticist David Hanson's invention of a skin covering called Frubber, which has been used on robots such as Repliee 02. Language may be another obstacle as robots have to be able to understand figurative speech such as idioms, as well as gestures and emotional responses. The truth is that for such a robot to exist it must be able to think and scientists simply don't know how to give robots this ability. They don't have the knowledge to give a robot inteligence or the power of reasoning. Worse still, it seems that they may never work it out. All in all, experts are divided as to when robot assistants may become a reality, Some say five years. others say fifty. Who knows - soon household robots may be as common as home computers.
Promised Revolution: Where Are the Robots?
Science fiction, through legends like Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov, has long envisioned a future filled with technological marvels such as rockets, nuclear energy, the Internet, and robots. While many of these predictions have come to fruition, the absence of advanced household robots capable of assisting with daily tasks—like ironing, cooking, and cleaning—raises the question: where are these automated helpers?
The Pursuit of Artificial Intelligence
Researchers propose that the key to developing these sophisticated robots lies in understanding the human brain. By mimicking its functions, they hope to create an artificial brain that can rival human capability. Currently, we have robots designed for specific tasks, like vacuuming, but the quest for multifunctional, human-like companions remains challenging, possibly more so in practice than in theory.
Progress in Robotics: Mobility and Aesthetics
Despite the challenges, notable advancements have been made in robotics, particularly in mobility. For instance, Honda's ASIMO robot can walk, run, and navigate stairs with ease. Additionally, innovations like David Hanson's Frubber skin allow robots, such as Repliee 02, to appear more human-like. However, language comprehension, including understanding idioms and emotional cues, presents another significant hurdle.
The Intelligence Barrier
The crux of the issue lies in the robots' ability to think and reason. Scientists currently lack the necessary knowledge to endow robots with intelligence. This limitation raises concerns about the feasibility of creating truly autonomous household assistants, casting doubt on whether such advancements will ever be realized.
Future Projections: When Will Robots Arrive?
Experts are divided on the timeline for the emergence of robot assistants. Some speculate it could be as soon as five years, while others suggest a more distant fifty years. Regardless, the hope remains that one day, household robots may become as ubiquitous as home computers, transforming our everyday lives.
