With the advancement of artificial intelligence, an original type of companion robot has been invented, which can communicate like humans. On the one hand, some people say that such robots are of great benefit to us. For example, if an old man lives alone, a companion robot can give him a lot of comfort. In addition, the robot can monitor the elderly person’s health condition, and if there are potential dangers, not only will he get in touch with the person’s family but he will also automatically give out a warning. Neverthelsss, on the other hand, some people oppose the use of the technology. They argue that some people use the technology to avoid social contact. Hence, the gap between people is more difficult to bridge. Personally, companion robots are definitely beneficial to people. However, what we should provide is real companionship instead of cold robots. Conclusion Body Introduction Sample Finish the essay “Should We Welcome Companion Robots？” and hand it in next Monday.
