Robots seem to be getting more and more advanced, as these four examples clearly show.

Simon  the  Robot  was developed by the  Georgia Institute of
Technology.  He's an upper-torso humanoid robot (上躯干机器人).
Simon the Robot can grasp and release objects, clean up a workspace and
interact with humans. In tests, Simon the Robot could tell whether
someone was paying attention to him.

Budgee was created by Five Elements Robotics. With two wheels and a
little basket, he can carry things  for you while  you are at  the shops or in the
park. You can communicate with him  by  using an  app  on your phone, and
set  basic commands such  as  the  distance  he  has to  walk behind you.
Budgee  can hold up to  22  kilograms  and  fold up into a small package that
weighs just over 2 kilograms.

Paro is a baby seal  (海豹)  robot  that was designed by
Takanori Shibata. He's used on patients in hospitals and nursing
homes. He can respond to sounds, learn a name and even show
emotions such as surprise, happiness and anger. And he's active
during the day and sleeps at night.

Rover was created by a team at Sydney University and has been
used to herd (放牧) cows.  The prototype needs to be operated by a
human but in the future they're hoping to develop a fully_automated
version. As well as herding cows, Rover can also monitor animals that
are about to give birth, and gather data on soil.
