The Breakthrouth in Robotics: Smart Housewife

Developments in the sphere of technologies are unfolding in a very quick tempo. Things unbelievable in the past are now used by almost all people, and, probably, empyreal things for us will become common in future. It is called progress.

Now we live in a more static world, than people lived in the previous century. Let's compare, what innovations were invented in the 20th century and in the 21th. The 20th century brought to humanity such useful things as a fridge, the radio, airplanes and others. And what new was invented in the 21th century? The smartphone, the new models of computers and robots. I hope you understand, that the changes now are not as global as a century ago. As a consequence, we can say, that now it is much harder, to invent something world-changing, because almost all the groundbreaking innovations have already been invented.

However, progress is still unstoppable and new up-to-date devices are released regularly. Now people mostly need new labour-saving devices to make their life easier and more comfortable. There are already a lot of appliances, such as smart vacuum cleaner and so on. And most of them have only one specific function. I'd like to present a multifunctional device - SMART HOUSEWIFE.

I know some people, who have smart housewives, but we speak about human-wives. This innovation is some kind of robotics. Unlike other robots, this one is a neural network. So, what are the robot's functions? Firstly we should find out, what are the most important problems of human housewives are. On this basis, you can guess three most important functions of the smart housewife.

The first function is, of course, cooking. The smart housewife knows a certain number of recipes. All you need is to give the necessary ingredients to the robot, choose the meal and it will cook what you want. Also the robot can be taught cooking by you. As I have mentioned, the smart housewife is a neural network and it can learn more and improve its abilities. For example, probably, the robot doesn't know, what borsch is (of course, if it doesn't have a Ukrainian firmware). Then you can write the recipe and show the robot how to do it.

The second important function is cleaning. As I have said, the smart housewife is multifunctional. It can do vacuum cleaning, as well as wet cleaning. You probably think that it might be dangerous for electric device to contact with water. Well, the smart housewife is smarter than you think!

The third and not less important function is babysitting. The smart housewife knows a lot of tales in different languages. In addition to this, there are some educational programs, which foster child's development and studying. However, the smart housewife can't say to the child "Don't put your fingers in the power socket!" or "Don't drink the dish-washing liquid!", so I would not recommend to leave the baby alone with the robot.

To cap it all, I would like to say, that the smart housewife is a very useful and innovative device, which I recommend for parents, who work a lot and don't have time to cook meals and to do other kinds of house work. I hope you have liked it, thank you for attention!
