As humans‚ we have struggled for thousand of years trying to define what it meant to be human and what rights we have as human beings.

enormous awareness about the robots‚ at its most basic a robot is a machine that senses the world‚ processes the sensor information with a computer and then does something in response to that information (such as moving or turning). A robot isn’t just a computer. A desktop computer can “sense” that you are typing or moving the mouse‚ but the computer itself doesn’t move or act in the physical world. 2) The sources also gave us an inspiration to create our own robots although we do not have the
