2. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher.
3. Sometimes a robot catches viruses and causes a lot of problems.

1. What might robots be like in the future?
2. What other things can robots do for people?
3. What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?
Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you’ll probably discover some new questions.
