Have you ever become tired of doing your house work? Bored of washing your dishes after a party or of going shopping on a busy day? Have you ever been embarrassed about having to ask your family and friends for help with a lot of things? Don’t worry, the solution to all your problems is coming. We will all have robots in the near future, and our lives will become less arduous than before.

The word “robot” comes from a Czech word, which was first used in 1921*, by the writer Karel Čapek. It means hard work in the Czech language. A robot is a machine that is programmed by humans using various computer languages such as Assembly, C++, and Python, and which have varying degrees of freedom and autonomy.

In the past, robots were only used for laborious jobs. For instance, they were used in factories for heavy lifting or to do dangerous jobs. However, nowadays robots are used in a variety of fields. For example, they are used in hospitals to diagnose illnesses, to investigate biohazards, and some have even been sent into outer space.

On the other hand, we need robots to become integrated into our daily lives. We need them to help us clean, fold our clothes and cook for us because sometimes it is impossible to take care of everything that needs to be taken care of! We need help; we need things done on time and without the hassle of obligations that accompany asking favors of others.

People with disabilities could also use robots to help them. For example, some robots are designed to aid blind people with everyday activities, such as simply guiding them around  town.

In fact, each kind of robot is different from the next. Some are designed for very specific jobs, and some are designed to be more all-purpose.

Despite the commonly held opinion that robots are mainly used to vacuum people’s floors, there are companies today that make many kinds of robots, even ones that can play the violin.

Companies today produce a wide range of robots, which are used to carry out a wide variety of tasks. In Japan, there are companies that make robots to guard premises, entertain people, and which have many more capabilities.

In short, robots are going to infiltrate deeper into every aspect of our lives, so we need to make sure that they have a positive effect in our lives and in society.
