      A famous scientist was asked why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far1from others?

  He 2that it all resulted from a (n) 3that occurred when he was three. He was tryingto4a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost hold of the bottle, spilling its 5all over the kitchen floor.

      Instead of 6at him,his mother said,“Robert, what awonderful 7you have made!Ihave 8seen such a huge puddle of milk.Since the9is done,would you like to get down and play in the milk for a while 10cleaning it up?”

        Indeed, he did.“Robert,11you make a mess like this,12you have to clean it up and restore everything to its13order.”And then together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said,“Robert,that is a 14experiment in how to 15carry a big milk bottle.Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water and see if youcan 16a way to carry a bottle of water without dropping it.”

       The scientist remarked he learned from that moment that mistakes were just 17for learning something new, which is18scientific experiments are all about.Even if the experiment “doesn't work”,we usually learn something19from it.

Wouldn't it be great if all 20would respond like Robert's mother?

       Whether in the home or the workplace,social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

        While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

        The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions;it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

       Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.

       Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

       The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,”said Breazeal.
