house.

the process of doing painting.

It might be a little strange not to be amazed by robots because they can be seen as one
of the most innovative advancements of mankind. Thanks to the AI technology, robots
are able to imitate and perform most of human tasks such as house cleaning, cooking,
serving and most significantly, interacting, which is pretty frightening to me since I keep
imaging what life would be if robots one day can somehow understand emotions and
function accordingly.

efficient and especially, non-intrusive, which makes them the best housemate of all
time.

personally believe they will provide a safer solution for those who are not legally eligible
to drive given their situation such as drunk or underaged drivers and people with
disabilities.
