Good question Sara,

So before we look forward looking back is useful too. So to know how robots have already helped us we might have an idea of how they will. Like making chores easier, running a house more economically (check out examples like the nest thermostat), safer cars and even self driving cars (tesla and google has self driving cars).

How our world is changed and improved is limited only by our imagination.
My dream future house in the future would be fully automated where;
The fridge knows whats in it and the expiry dates so it knows what shopping to order and notify me if something might be wasted.
My bedroom is able to set the temperature, alarms, light levels and open and close my blinds based on what my plans for the day are and current conditions.
My house will be able to control temperature, start cooking food and have the radio on before I get home from work.

Things like that. As for other advancements in the public world. We could have more accurate wearable devices like fitbits that can be used to help doctors monitor patient’s, we can have more accessible enabling technology so those with any disability or impairment will be more included in society.

For me thats where I want to do most of my work. In helping create a better more inclusive world that leaves it better for the future generations than we got it from the past generations
