Tạm dịch:
Cách đây rất lâu, robot thuộc về khoa học viễn tưởng. Trẻ em thích xem phim với robot. Ngày nay, robot là có thật, và chúng đang giúp chúng ta. Trong tương lai, tất cả chúng ta sẽ có robot. Họ sẽ hút bụi sàn nhà, rửa bát, thậm chí có thể lái xe của chúng tôi. Tôi thậm chí nghĩ rằng một ngày nào đó chúng ta sẽ có những người bạn robot. Ở Nhật Bản ngày nay, các kỹ sư rô bốt đang chế tạo rô bốt để giúp đỡ những người già và để luôn đồng hành Đó vẫn còn là những bước đầu. Tôi muốn nói rằng chúng ta còn 20 đến 30 năm nữa để robot có mặt ở mọi nơi trong cuộc sống của chúng ta. Điều gì sẽ xảy ra với chúng ta khi thế giới chỉ toàn robot? Sẽ không có việc làm. McDonalds sẽ có đầy những robot luôn tươi cười. Có lẽ một ngày nào đó chúng ta sẽ không thể phân biệt được robot và con người. Có thể chúng sẽ tiếp quản thế giới.
