Science fiction stories about robots: robots with human touch

Mr. R, a middle-aged capitalist, came to visit Dr. F, a young scholar, and chatted for a while. Mr. R said, "Robots are good, but they are always unsatisfactory." Dr. F asked him, "What makes you dissatisfied? As a scholar in this field, I really want to know about it and I can refer to it in the future. "

"In short, it is boring. Robots are really diligent and easy to use. But no matter what you ordered him to do, he always replied,' Yes, I see.' Follow the rules. Finish the work accurately and mechanically. I know I should be grateful for this scientific research achievement, but I always feel a little bored. "

Although Dr. F also wanted to refute and told him not to be demanding, he nodded his understanding and said, "I see what you mean." I have long expected that many people will make such opinions in the future. "

"I didn't expect to hear such words from robotics scholars. You must be studying some solutions when you say so. "

"yes. Seriously, not long ago, I trial-produced a new robot. Then, let him go out to study life. "

"You say you want to go out to study? It is unheard of to let robots go out to learn such things. What is this? "

Mr. R was a little surprised and his eyes widened. Dr. f explained.

"In the past, robots were programmed with basic programs at the same time of manufacturing, and only some necessary programs could be absorbed in the future. Therefore, it becomes a mechanical and precise robot. However, this time it's different. There is still some left on the storage device, so that he can live among human beings. Compared with the robots in the past, this can certainly add some functions. "

"Indeed, should let him bring some human touch. So, what is the result? "

"Still can't say why. Why? Because he just finished school yesterday and just got back. After that, I will try it here for a while and observe its effect. "

Mr. R listened to Dr. F and poked his head out.

"Please let me take him home. I'll write a report on how you feel about using it. I'm fed up with robots that used to be too honest. There is no special danger in using a new one, is there? "

"This is reliable. It is absolutely guaranteed that the design will not cause any harm to people. But what kind of characteristics he has received from humans and what will happen are still not well understood. "

"Because of this, it is more interesting. Please do lend it to me. No matter what the usage fee is, I will pay it. " Mr. R begged and finally got the consent of Dr. F, so he took the robot borrowed from Dr. F home.

"So ..."

Mr. R sat in the chair and was about to speak when the robot replied, "OK, what's the point?" "Why, it doesn't seem to be much different from the robots of the past. But it's okay. I want to drink. Mix me a mixed wine called Lan Xin. If you don't know the tune, look for a book on the shelf. "

If it had been a robot, it would have started to do it long ago. However, the robot stood there motionless. Mr. R urged him, "Hey, why don't you go somewhere?" Can't you do it? "

"Of course. However, drinking is not good. This is harmful to your health. It is not good for the internal organs and the brain. "

"Don't worry, take medicine if you have a problem with your stomach."

"That's a waste! You should stop these practices. If you don't have the willpower to give orders and have to make drinks, I'll do it, but ... "

"Well, I see. I don't want to drink. I'll make my own drinks later. Then, instead of drinking, go for a ride in the country. You drive for me. " Mr. R gave another order. However, the robot is still standing there. When Mr. R was about to say something dissatisfied, the robot replied, "Recently, there have been more and more car accidents. Although some people know that robots are safe to drive, they still insist on grabbing the steering wheel themselves, so there are more accidents. If this happens, there is nothing we can do. It is safest to stay at home. Please turn on the stereo color TV if you want to enjoy the scenery. If you want to breathe fresh air, please turn on the air conditioner button. If you say that it doesn't matter even if you encounter a traffic accident, if you want to drive out, of course I am willing to obey, because my body will not be bad in any accident, and I don't care. "

"You this guy do say something boring. So I don't want to drive out. I'm sleepy, please paste the walls of this room again. "

However, the robot replied, "If I want to do this, I'd better wait a little longer." . A new wallpaper is coming out soon. Compared with the previous products, it is durable, dust-free, and has good sound echo and color. Now it's burnt again, and it's going to be replaced with that soon. I think that's a pity. "

"Don't worry about spending money."

"Yes, if you want to give such an order after fully understanding this waste ..."

"That's enough, that's enough. Forget it. Just sit there and rest. "

Mr. r gave up his plan to guide him. To be prudent, he hung up the wallpaper company and made an investigation. As the robot said, it is expected that new products will be released in the near future.

The next day, Mr R came to Dr F with his robot. The doctor asked, "How do you feel when you use it?"

"Indeed, unlike previous robots, it is a human robot. However, the human touch is too heavy. Every time he gives an order, he suggests what is harmful to health, what is too dangerous, what is too wasteful and so on. This is naturally loyalty to the master, but it makes people feel that it is not good to use him. I really can't help it. This is not a study life. I obviously developed a hobby of persuading people there. "

"But I didn't send him to the place where I like to persuade people to study!"

"Nevertheless, the fact is. Please check it carefully. "

While wondering, Dr. F began an accurate examination. It takes time, but Mr. R waited with curiosity.

After a while, Dr. F said, "Yes! It is really different from previous robots and has human nature. "

"Is that right? However, how could he get into the trouble of persuading people? "

"No, it's not a question of persuasion."

"So, what is it?"

"This is the quality of making excuses in an attempt to be lazy."
