the university of southern california.her group is developingrobots to work with stroke (中风) patients and elderly people. the research team has found that people reactwellto a robot gym instructor，and seem to get less frustrated with it than with instructions given on acomputerscreen. the robot can act as a perfect trainer，with infinite(极大的) patience.“people say things like i prefer thisrobot to my husband！can i take it home?” according to professor mataric. “in fact theres a really important point here. as we create these care giving technologies，were helping not only the people that need the care，but also the people caring for them. we can give them a break，and help them avoid burnout.”people are going to have to like，and importantly trustrobots before they welcome them into their homes，and several groups around the world are working on making it easier to communicate with them.much of human communication takes place through body language. gestures， eye contact , and concepts of personal space are all things that robots are being taught. in learning about how people interact(互动) with machines，researchers are also discovering new roles for robots in our lives. robots can communicate with humans in ways that other technologies can not.“if someone finds the robot to be more persuasive and more reliable，thats going to affect how they interact with it,” says dr cynthia breazeal, director of the personal robots group at the massachusetts institute of technology. “we can now start to think about fields where its the social interaction，which is the main means by which arobothelps someone.” dr breazeal says that means robots could be used in education，learning，and health care，where social support is important.9professor maja mataric mainly focused on robots function
