The robotic revolution has already started, but the ultimate dream of robot makers worldwide is to fill the planet with anthropomorphic robots -- the stuff of science fiction movies.
They will take on the role of personal assistants, both at home -- to help with chores, for example -- and in public spaces, to offer guidance to tourists or lend a hand with your shopping.
Pictured above is the REEM robot, built by Spain's PAL Robotics. It is already available, and it can give an idea of what's to come in the more distant future.
It has a touch screen to display information and can sustain basic conversations, responding to inquiries in spaces such as shopping malls, museums, and airports.
