In 2017, when she became a citizen, a robot named Sophia attracted worldwide attention 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. However, not everyone welcomes social robots with open arms. Some people are afraid that human partners may be disappointed when robots do not behave exactly like humans. Others are not sure if children learning from robots will be able to handle surprises in real-world communication. These and many other questions are being asked, but researchers will not stop efforts to develop effective social robots.
