What does the future of robots look like?

What will the world really be like by, say, 2040, as far as robots are concerned?

We may not have robots walking our streets by 2040, but we will definitely be surrounded by robots of one kind or another without knowing it. It is quite likely that there will be driverless “robot” cars on our streets. We may have microscopic robots in our contact lenses that help us take pictures - we won’t even have to hold our phones or cameras up to take them (but how will we take selfies??).

And little airborne robots called drones will be flying busily all around -

delivering letters, packages and kebabs, putting delivery boys out of business, but hopefully reducing some traffic on our streets!

As for 2085, 45 years AFTER that, who knows what robots will be up to?
