At Your Service, Sir!
At
Your Service, Sir!
Robots are common in
industry and perhaps they will soon be common in the home. A robot working in
the home must be able to behave like a human. You could ask it to make
breakfast for you. “I'd like a pot of coffee, please and some boiled eggs.” “How
many, sir?” “Two please.” You wouldn't have to worry about bringing friends
home to dinner. “I've brought some friends for dinner,” you would say, “please
prepare a meal for six.” Your robot would be cook, servant and cleaner, and
perhaps it could even do the shopping. “We haven't got any tomatoes,” you would
say. “Be a good robot and get some from the supermarket.” Robots would never
need to sleep, and would never complain. But I wouldn't want them wandering
round the house at night!
