I would take a course if I didn’t speak English. I wouldn’t have money if I didn’t work. Note2: when the main verb is the verb to be , you use were for singular subjects. Examples: If I were rich, I would travel around the world. If I were a president, I would change many things in the country. It is also possible to use the modal auxiliary auxiliary “could” in the result clause. Example: If I had enough time, I could study French.

ROBOTS 'R' US Online Article by Ray Kurzweil Inside Reading, page 137

ROBOTICS The word "robot” conjures up a variety of images, from R2D2 and C3PO of Star Wars, to human-like machines that exist to serve their creators like Rosie from The Jetsons , to even the Rover Sojourner, which explored the Martian landscape as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission.

Origin of the word ”robot” The first use of the word "robot" occurred in a play about mechanical men that are built to work on factory assembly lines and that rebel against their human masters. These machines in R.U.R. ( Rossum's Universal Robots ), written by Czech playwright Karl Capek in 1921, got their name from the Czech word for slave.

Origin of the word “Robotics” The word "robotics" was also coined by a writer. Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov first used the word in 1942 in his short story "Runabout." Asimov had a much brighter and more optimistic opinion of the robot's role in human society than did Capek. He generally characterized the robots in his short stories as helpful servants of man and viewed robots as "a better, cleaner race."

"Laws of Robotics" Asimov also proposed three "Laws of Robotics" that his robots, as well as sci-fi robotic characters of many other stories, followed: Law One A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Law Two A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Law Three A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
