Introduction:

 Task Definition:
I'm conducting this inquiry because my school just had an exchange student
from Korea, who demonstrated an iRobot Roomba 980 vacuum cleaner. My
principal is particularly interested in the development of household robots and
wants to enlighten students about it. So, grade 11 CAT students are assigned to
conduct research on the topic of Robotics, with a concentration on domestic
robots and how they will affect society. And what are the chances that a robot
will be a domestic helper in every household in the near future?
I will be able to gain a better understanding of the topic by asking questions
such as: in which countries are domestic robots manufactured, what skills are
required to build them, what potential hazards may exist with such a robot, and
what are the benefits and drawbacks of owning a robot as a domestic worker.
Today, machines are so complex and advanced that we refer to them as robots.
The usage of robots in our homes is also not new. My target demographic is
individuals who want to buy robots that can do home duties. By organizing the
information/data that I will be gathering and creating a document that will be
posted as a link on the school's main website.
As a result, based on the topic, I need to construct a website with my results and
conclusions.

Focus Question:

What are the possibilities that there can be a robot as domestic worker
in each and every household in the near future?
