Hands up those who've never desire to have some slavers at home who work instead of you for free and without whisper a single word!
This dream could become reality in the not too distant future.
In fact the robot industry is growing very fast.
Dinoauros-robots have already been created to entertain children by burping and farting.
There are robots that can run, climb stairs, serve drinks and recognise faces.
A few of them can even jump, and others are improving their capacity to understand human emotions, respond to facial expressions and take turns in conversation!
Others are built for military reasons: they can detect and clear mines.
The next generation will be equipped with weapons.
It's a recurring fear that robots will become smart and take over, but what developers will have to take care is only how to manage them in case of dysfunction.
It woudn't be fun to have an superintelligent android at home but depressed by making tea and opening doors.
