One of the most fascinating ongoing science project is the development of robots. The mere thought of having a mechanical being take over menial tasks has been a truly popular one down the ages. However is it only now that the thought is being translated into reality by scientists across the globe.

The initial robots have been nothing more that a tin man that could just barely walk leave aside do useful things, but today we have far more advanced robots. In all fields robots are proving their worth. There are medical robots that assist doctors with surgery such as the Da Vinci robotic arm.

There are robots that are programmed to play football such as the ones designed by the students who participate in the FIRST competition for robotics. There are even robots that help contain nuclear leaks such as the ones deployed at the Japanese nuclear plant disaster site.

The dawn of robots is indeed upon us. The robots that are built today are also being tested for artificial intelligence. The robots today are capable of learning from their own mistakes making them smarter than some humans I know. The truth is that robots have always fascinated us and now you can make a science fair project out of all the robots that you admire.
