Some robots are fitted with cameras , sensors , and microphones which enable them to see , to feel , and to hear .

She ate three chocolate bars for breakfast every morning .I used to lie in bed looking at her eating and getting dressed , wondering how she could possibly have so much sugar without losing her teeth , her figure or her complexion . Shed put on her make up in under a minute , throw on whatever clothes happened to be lying around the room , and rush off to work looking like a model on the cover of a fashion magazine . Like me , she was just an art teacher in a secondary school .I , on the other hand , used to put on weight if I even smiled at a bar of chocolate . Id already lost several upper teeth , my face was spotty and I looked like a heavyweight boxer whatever I wore .My morning reaction to Sam was always the same . Id shut my eyes , pull the blankets over my head and force myself back to sleep . I knew that I really ought to get up , too . But I have never been what youd call a morning person .
