Robots are most commonly used today in factories to make things. There are a few robots which are being used in shops and in the home, but for the most part they appear to be information providers, educational toys, or house cleaners.
There has been a lot of work to design domestic robots lately, and they may soon be a reality.
Many of these robots are being designed for the handicapped or the elderly. For example, a handicapped person or an elderly person who has trouble moving around the house could be helped by a robot. The robot can also cook and feed people when they need help.

Do you know Three Laws of Robotics?
Law Ⅰ: A ROBOT MAY NOT INJURE A HUMAN BEING OR, THROUGH INACTION, ALLOW A HUMAN BEING TO COME TO HARM.

第三定律:机器人在不违反第一、第二定律的情况下要尽可能保护自己的生存。
