George Devol who came
from the USA designed the first programmable robot in 1969. It meant that the
robot age had started from then on. However, in about 989 BC, during western
Zhou Dynasty, a Chinese man whose name was Yan Shi made a wood robot. It looked
like a real man and it was able to do many actions. It was good at dancing and
it has a heart, a stomach and other things in its body. It also had teeth and
hair. It could express its feelings by using its eyes. Its eyes could move and
could show love to women, but it couldn't laugh. It was probably the earliest
robot in the world.
Not all robots always
look like humans. They have various shapes. They are clever and they can do all
kinds of jobs, especially difficult and dangerous jobs. They are widely used in
factories, banks, hospitals and other places. In the future, robots will make
fewer mistakes, even can correct themselves and they will be smarter. It's
possible that we will have a robot in our own home. They will do more things
for us. We will have more free time to have a rest, to relax ourselves with the
help of robots. I believe that we can have a better life.
