TN4-01 2
 A Long ago, people imagined these machines but today they are among us. Over 2,000 years ago, a famous
poet imagined robots. The poet’s name was Homer. His robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and
they made things. But they were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to make a real robot. The
first real robot was made in 1961. It was called Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked like a giant
arm.

B In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we can’t do. Or they will do things
that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous for us. Robots will help us fight fires.
They will help us fight wars. They will help us fight sickness. They will help us discover things. They will
help make life better.

C A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is a machine that
moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer. Because it is a computer, it does not
make mistakes. And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless you tell it to!

D Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things. For example, robots can help make cars.
Some robots are used to explore dangerous places. For example, robots can help explore volcanoes. Some
robots are used to clean things. These robots can help vacuum your house. Some robots can even recognize
words. They can be used to help answer telephone calls. Some robots look like humans. But most robots do
not. Most robots just look like machines.
