Despite their best efforts and a number of science projects being devoted to the cause the scientists are yet to create the ultimate robot helper. The kind you see in science fiction movies going about doing a number of helpful little chores such as serving drinks, cleaning the house and going shopping for groceries. These humanoid robots are still a distant dream.

The robots that are truly useful today don’t even look like humans. They are more like individual gadgets which are designed for a specific task alone rather than the multitasking Irona in Richie Rich comic books. Of course it would be everyone’s dream to own a robot like Irona who could do a multitude of different tasks and even be able to fly you out of hot spots.

Still robots are coming along as best as they can and robotics has succeeded in making a good deal of difference in industrial operations. Take the Australian Sheep Rearing Industry for example. They have now got robots that handle automated sheep meat processing. It is more efficient and sanitary than the older methods that involved actual human labor.

Robotic scientists are also learning new ways to get their robots to handle material, and find their way about obstacles. Each new technology that is developed brings us closer to that ultimate multitasking personal robot assistant from the science fiction movies and book. Maybe this science project is what will make your career.
