There will be household robots to do all manner of domestic jobs. There is already a robot called Roomba that hoovers the floor by itself and smart appliances like fridges that can order food at the supermarket when it runs out. There will be robot companions to help elderly people in their homes and carry their bags. Also, robots will replace people in a number of jobs such as drivers and pilots as planes and trucks can be controlled by computers. There are already pilotless planes called drones.
