Abstract: The era of great development of intelligent machines is coming. While robot technology brings convenience and surprises to our lives, it may also lead to various changes and even subvert the whole world. Can humans and robots coexist in harmony in the future? Is the robot a loyal servant, or partner, or will it become the master of human beings?
