to her human-like look and manners. Sophia is one model of a new invention known as social
robots, a smart machine created to interact and work closely with people in different areas.

The service industry is among the first users of social robots. In 2020, friendly robots
will assist human volunteers in hotels and at tourist attractions during the Tokyo Olympic
Games. Social robots are also tested out in Japan to care for the elderly in nursing homes.

There, gentle robot caregivers help to serve food and entertain lonely residents. Still
another type of social robots does all the housework. As their prices fall, these hardworking
housekeepers may become a common home appliance. Researchers even tried out robot
teachers at elementary schools to engage students in learning, or to patiently help children

with communication difficulties learn social skills.

afraid that human partners may be disappointed when robots do not behave exactly like

in real-world communication. These and many other questions are being asked, but

researchers will not stop efforts to develop effective social robots. ˉ
