Robots exist all around us. They populate our factories, assist our surgeons and have become an integral part of our armed forces. But they are not just working behind the scenes – impressive inventions such as free-roaming hoovers takecare of your household chores and the iPal is set to become your closest friend.
Robots are changing the world... but before we can begin to talk about them, we need to decide what a robot is. What distinguishes a robot from any other machine? The stereotypical robot is a mechanical humanoid that walks and talks like a person, but robots like that only exist – so far – in science fiction. In the real world, most robots neither walk nor talk, and are nothing like people.
