Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to have a robot that can do your dishes and your cooking? One that can even cuddle you when you\u2019re feeling down and out? Or a robot that discusses your sleeping patterns with you at breakfast and goes through your important appointments and meetings so that you can start your day?<\/p>\n
You’ve probably thought about robots and had conversations about them. It\u2019s a controversial topic that has lots of different angles and provokes different points of view. The point is, when it comes to our social lives, more and more often we tend to turn to robotica and we seem to engage less and less in actual human interaction. Think Siri, Apple\u2019s smart speech-assistant or Microsoft\u2019s Cortana. I think we all prefer getting a response by a friendly voice than having to read answers on a screen. And how about Google Now, the smart digital assistant that will map out your day for you? In the future, our keyboards will disappear and we will control phones, computers and robots with our voices \u2013 yes, we are actually going to be talking to robots. We\u2019ll get used to the speed and intelligence of new technology \u2013 look at the robot vacuum cleaner and the window cleaning robot; ideal to have around the house!<\/p>\n\t\t
