These days, scientists are building robots with human qualities. Many of these robots have human faces and bodies. They also talk and act like human beings.

Some people approve of building humanoid robots. These supporters say that most robots can seem cold and distant. On the other hand, it is easier to relate to humanoid robots. The human characteristics make the robots seem friendlier.

The supporters also say humanoid robots can be useful in many ways. They can provide services in place of human workers. They can even be companions to the sick and the elderly.

However, other people oppose having humanoid robots. These critics say that it will be confusing to interact with the robots. Some will mistake these machines as being alive. Then, they might even be tricked by the humanoid robots.

Furthermore, these critics say that humanoid robots could be used to do the work of humans. At first, this may seem convenient and even interesting. But soon, there may not be enough jobs for humans to do.
