Robots of the future

Personally I believe that the growing industry of robotics is fascinating. With the growing interest around the country for this topic, I am certain that within the next twenty years we will have robots capable of accomplishing tasks that were originally too complex for a robot to take control of all on their own. For instance, the idea and development of the driverless car. A fantastic idea that could potentially, if developed and tested extensively, change the lives of every citizen within the country. This possibly could reduce the amount of car accidents caused every year from human error, such as, drunk driving, texting while driving, driving with a lack of sleep, road rage, lack of experience with car complications on the road, and multiple other possible areas of human error. Allowing for safer forms of transportation, and extra time to complete any other tasks before heading off to your destination while the car follows the predetermined route you instructed it to follow. If I could have the opportunity to obtain a driverless car, I would certainly take it. I personally, have a fear of driving around semi-trucks and in the middle lane of any highway or interstate that has more than three lanes. To avoid that level of fear would make the daily routines of my life involving travel to be more enjoyable and relaxing. I also believe that robots within twenty years will be knowledgeable, adaptive, responsive, self-aware, and interpretative enough to tutor or even teach people who need extra assistance. Robots may also be able to complete simple house hold chores, like cleaning the dishes, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, trash removal, lawn care, moving furniture, taking care of pets, and much more. While a robot maid would be very beneficial to the majority of households across the country, there is one drawback that comes to mind. If a robot is doing all of the chores In the house, how will the younger kids experience what their parents are going to be blabbing about when the child says they want weekly allowance money. I however don’t believe that we as a society will have robots that will be capable of taking the places of soldiers on the battle field quite yet. I feel like that level of robotics is far ahead of our time even with the very promising and unique innovations that are being made today. I do believe that while these robots may not be fighting wars and saving mankind, I do see them making our daily lives easier, more productive, and simpler.
