Perhaps you imagine something that follows our instructions, brings us our clothes and helps us around the home. These robots do exist, but scientists also design many other kinds of robots for other important jobs. Doctors use medical robots for surgery. They can use the robots to make very careful movements. The doctors can even control the robots from far away. Other doctors also use another type of robot - a therapy robot. One type of therapy robot called Paro looks and acts like a baby seal. It has got a movable head and flippers. When patients hold this robot, they feel relaxed and happy. Sometimes their pain levels improve.Explorers send robot vehicles to places that are difficult to reach, for example, deep below the sea. They can watch the robots on a screen and control them online using their keyboard and mouse. They can decide where and when the robots move, People also use robots to do very dangerous jobs. For example, if there isa fire in a building, a robot can go into the building and look for people. In factories, robots do a lot of very boring assembly line jobs.

Thanks to conservation projects, giant pandas are not endangered anymore, but they till need our help. There are now 1,800 pandas in the wild, and the panda population is growing slowly. Thirty per cent of the world’s population of giant pandas lives in the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries in China. These sanctuaries are famous for thei work with giant pandas and with other endangered animals, including snow leopards and red pandas. There are seven nature reserves ina very big area of land in the sanctuaries, Here, giant pandas can live safely in the wild. Their favourite food, bamboo, grows in the forests around the mountains. Increasing the giant panda population is a very important part of the sanctuaries’ conservation work. Ata special research centre, workers keep some pandas in captivity for breeding, When the baby pandas are born, the workers help the mothers to lookafter them. They try to teach them how to live in the wild. They don’t want the pandas to be too friendly with people, so the workers wear panda costumes! With a combination of conservation, research, science and some very cute costumes, the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries are continuing to help to bring giant pandas back into the wild.SCE) fr eee SACS onan TR UU workers don't want the baby pandas to be too friendly with people?
