I get many emails each week from people who want to start building robots.As a builder of robots for
30 years,here’s my 1 on the subject.
First,let’s decide what a “robot” is.In my opinion,a remote controlled car is not a robot since it has no
brain of its own.To be a robot,it should have the 2 to think and make decisions.This may sound 3
at first,but really any small computer can be programmed to make decisions.
I want to encourage you,but 4 ,building a robot is not easy.This is a task that would take a normal
person several months or years.In 5 ,as past president of the Dallas Personal Robotics Group,I’ve
known professional engineers that spent several years just to 6 a mobile base working.
I’m not trying to 7 you,but I just want you to know what 8 of project this is.If you are
willing to spend many months,much money,and potentially 9 and discouragement,then design and
build your own robot from scratch.
Most people 1 0 that they can build a robot with parts found around the house and that is partially
true.I think 1 1 screwdrivers would be a good drive motor. 1 2 ,there are many things that you will
have to 1 3 ,especially when it comes to the electronics,sensors and microcontroller parts.These items
are simply not available in the bottom of a toy box or at your local Walmart.
1 4 almost all believed it would cost much 1 5 when they began,most robots built from
scratch cost between $200 and $400.Many people spend well over $1000 and some,much more.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your Robot Teacher of the Future
Will your job be done by a robot in the future?Bank of England economists predict that almost half of
all UK jobs are under threat of automation.Those most at risk involve repetitive manual labour,such as
factory positions.But could even the respected profession of teaching soon have to compete against
powerful electronic educators?
At first glance,teaching might seem unlikely to be replaced by robots.Teachers use a range of soft
skills that machines find hard to replicate.They judge pupils’ needs and tailor feedback accordingly.They
adapt materials to make them more attractive and effective.And they look out for students who lag behind
or disrupt the class.
Nonetheless,some believe the future of education will be technological.In an interview with Business
Insider magazine,futurist Thomas Frey predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going
to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.”
He thinks that online robot teachers will make education so efficient.Students will be able to get an
undergraduate degree into six months of learning.A bot learns what your “interests” and “reference points”
are,“and it figures out how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,” according to Frey.
Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached,over the last decade there has been a huge
increase in online learning platforms.Some companies produce courses that allow millions to learn at home
for free,at their own pace.But there are limitations.Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom
environment,the majority of students fail to complete online courses.How to sustain motivation to learn is
one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed,Frey admits there is some way to go:“Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of
education.” What do teachers themselves think about this?Professor Donald Clark from Derby University
in the UK thinks that we should welcome change,even though people will lose their jobs.
“Artificial intelligence will destroy jobs—so why not use it for a social good such as learning?” he
asked.

The article introduces the possibility of a robot teacher in the future.(要点1) Though robots may
replace humans in factories,it is impossible that teaching will be done by robots.(要点2) Teachers use soft
skills such as feedback and personal care at classrooms.However,online robot teachers will know a
learner’s weaknesses and strengths,so they provide efficient teaching.(要点3)Some companies provide
free courses online but students lack motivation to finish their lessons.Anyway,AI is welcomed to do good
to learning.( 要点 4)
