In recent years robots have captured the interest of more and more people. Thanks to movies and TV, the notion of the robot as a mechanical companion and servant has become a common concept. As interest in robots grow, a number of books showing how to build robots at home begin to be published. These books, however, were very technical, showing how to build computer-controlled mobile platforms that are considered by most to be true robots. What I intend to explain here is not the specialized knowle,but the internal and external relations betwean robots and human beings.The unceasing improvent of human's brain power keeps accelerating the robot evolution and benefiting from it simultaneously,and our research has proven that the development of robot is also an unceasing renewal.Our dreams which were only bold assumptions in science fiction has been becoming true nowadays. Every technology cuts both ways.Even fire can cook food as it can burn our flesh.Railroads gave us faster and more convenient transportation as they imultaneously signaled the death knell of many species of migratory animals as well as served up noise and air pollution. Nuclear energy gives millions heat ,light,and power just as it creates unwanted radioactive side effects.Seemingly harmless technologies such as robots also have their dark side.The human mind is as devious as the many progressive devices it produces.No matter what technology mankind develops in the future,we can be sure that it will offer an opportunity to exercise the dark side of our potential.On balance,we must move forward and allow these new technologies.Only by practicing them-for good or bad-can we realize our human potential.On balance,too,despite the horrific deadly or sinister potential in technology,the world offers a more productive,comfortable,and progressive environment today than in our previous low-tech centuries. The unceasing evolution of robots impoves our understanding of robot. If the man is God's work, then the robot is man's masterpiece.In a word,it is not our technology that we learn to control so much as ourselves.
