which process the information and 'decide' how to best deal with a situation
who are elderly or disabled with their everyday household tasks
and perform tasks without users always having to tell them what to do
because they could store information which was used at another time
which engineers at the MIT Humanoid Robotics Group have recently developed
which probably make it very popular with home owners when it goes on sale
so any errors it makes, such as putting clothes in the fridge, are never repeated

Engineers around the world have been very busy working on a new generation of robots that can do most household chores.
Unlike robots of the past, these new robots can adapt to different situations (A) . Some can even interact directly with humans.
One such robot is a robot called ‘Domo’, (B) . Domo has cameras inside his eyes that enable him to ‘see’ everything that happens in front of him.
The information that Domo ‘sees’ is fed to twelve computers (C) . Domo can learn how big an object is, for example, and then decide how to put it on a shelf. Also, if Domo drops something in the middle of doing a task, he can stop, pick it up, and start again.
Across the Atlantic, researchers in japan have developed the ‘Home Assistant Robot’ or HAR. HAR is very good at carrying out many different kinds of household chores (D) . In recent demonstrations, HAR has shown that it can mop floors, tidy a room, clear a table, open and close doors, move furniture and even pick up and wash clothes.
HAR is so clever that it can even learn from its own mistakes (E) .
The engineers who made Domo and HAR hope that these and similar robots will soon be able to assist those (F) . In this way, they will be able to live more independent lives.
Of course, these robots could also be useful in places other than homes, such as in factories to help workers on assembly lines, or on farms.
