Isaac Asimov's (author of "I, Robot") world full of robots working alongside humans may not be as far away as most people think - but in real life the robots will look and act (somewhat) like humans - not machines. Roboticists are working on making robots look and act more human, and are further along than people suspect. there is already robots in testing that can look as much (if not more) like a human as Data from Star Trek TNG. There are many possible uses for such machines such as doing chores around the house, babysitting, and giving speeches for people on their absence. Of course, fitting them into our daily lives may be difficult as they would creep people out at first, and no matter how much they deny it, many people are afraid of change. Will we be working alongside robots and talking to them as if they were human in the upcoming decades? Perhaps, but there is still a lot of research to be done.
