We will briefly take a look at how modern robotics are developing towards sensory robots that can function with "senses" such as speech recognition, speech understanding and a sense of touch. However, not only can robots interpret different types of senses, they can interact with the outside world -- using robotic speech, robotic music, robotic hand-eye coordination and robotic movement. (on wheels and on legs)

Presently there are no "Real World" robots because even with all the advancements in technology, we still can program a computer than can think like a human being. Presently, no one can program a computer to be able to function completely on its own by receiving data from its surroundings and make decisions. We have been able to create explorer robots that can function independently, but only in one field. In other words, only to explorer and transmit data. As humans, we are confronted every day with decisions that aren't as simple as "there is a rock... do I turn left or right?" For a robot to simply walk down the street, there are an infinite number of possibilities of fate that could arise. For example, what happens if the wind starts to blow? Or a person trips onto the robot? What if a bird flys in front of the robot? What if the road isn't 100% flat? What if the road is slightly wet? It is impossible to program all the possible scenarios in real life, therefore, robots today are still confined to specific fields!
