　　Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real"mechanized hired hand" that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a humanbeing. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes infarming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future willfind that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robotsthat will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will bedone by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into thebarn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect themwhen they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when themilking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure.The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that somerobots will be used before long.
