In recent years, the power, functionality, and growing popularity of computers and the Internet have exceeded early predictions about the pace of technology advancement and usefulness in everyday life. Savvy experts now predict a world saturated with powerful computer chips, which will increasingly infiltrate our devices, homes, clothing, and even our bodies. An intertwined goal remains elusive, however. In stark contrast to the unforeseen explosion of computers into the mainstream, the entire robotics effort failed completely to meet the predictions of the 1950s. At the time, experts dazzled by the seemingly miraculous computing power of computers believes that if only the right software is written, computers can become the artificial brains of sophisticated automated robots. They think that within a decade or two, such robots will mop floors, mow lawns, and generally remove hard work from our lives. Apparently, it didn't happen that way. It is true that industrial robots have changed the production of cars, among other products. But this kind of automation is a far cry from the versatile, portable, self-contained creations that so many scientists and engineers have hoped for. In pursuit of such robots, waves of researchers became discouraged and dozens of startups went out of business. Not a mechanical "body" that is inaccessible; Articulated arms and other motion mechanisms suitable for manual work already exist, as evidenced by industrial robots. Rather, it is a computerized artificial brain that is still below the level of sophistication needed to build a human-like robot. However, I believe that the decades-old dream of a useful and versatile autonomous robot will become a reality in the not too distant future. By 2010, we will see mobile robots the size of humans but with the same cognitive abilities as lizards. The machine will be able to perform simple tasks, such as vacuuming, dusting, delivering packages, and emptying the trash.
