2. Read the following text and answer the questions in maximum 5 words.

Who doesn’t long for household help at times? Service robots will soon be able to relieve us of heavy, dirty or monotonous tasks. Research scientists have now presented a new generation of household robots.

The one-armed robot glides slowly to the kitchen table. With its three fingers, it carefully picks up the bottle of apple juice and puts it next to the glasses on the tray in front of it. Then it glides back into the lounge and serves the drinks to the guests. This is how artificial assistants might work in future.

Only 1.45 metres high, this robot is the prototype of a new generation of service robots designed to help humans in the household.

But how does the robot know where to find the items it needs? It is fitted with numerous sensors and also stereo-vision colour cameras, laser scanners and a

3-D range camera enable the robot to register its surroundings in three dimensions in real time. If a person moves into the radius of its arm, it stops moving. Another feature of the small, flexible helper is that it can move in any direction. The new robot has a highly flexible arm with seven degrees of freedom and a hand with three fingers. This allows it to pick up bottles, cups and similar objects and to operate machines. Force sensors prevent it from gripping too hard. Unlike its predecessors, it can even recognize and respond to gestures.
