Robots on Earth by Jerry West Explosions. Car chases. A man and woman, drenched in sweat, limping from a building as it crumbles to the ground, muster the last of their strength to rescue humanity from its inevitable extinction at the cold, metal hands of humanoid creatures with artificial intelligence gone awry. For decades, books and movies have dictated how we think of robots. Simply the word "robot" can bring to mind images of evil, mechanical creatures bent on taking over the world and wiping out every glimmer of humanity. And yet, the truth of machines is dramatically different. Today's robots hold little in common with their villainous cousins from action-packed science fiction. Most robots have no interest in harming the human population at all; they exist to aid people in making life safer, healthier, and more productive. For example, jobs such as welding and painting are important to civilization as we know it, but experience has taught us that these activities can be hazardous to human health. In addition, fumes in automobile and airplane factories can harm organic bodies that become exposed to their toxins in the assembly process. Even when the best precautions are taken, workers may still suffer from lack of adequate ventilation. What is the answer to these difficult dilemmas? Robots. Because machines don't rely on clean air or comfortable temperatures, because they can function even in the midst of deadly gasses, they can take over with ease where humans would suffer greatly. Working together, humans and robots can get the job done. A robot's job isn't limited to the terrestrial level, either. Even in space, machines such as the R2 humanoid robot at the International Space Station complete dangerous tasks for astronauts, protecting them from potentially deadly situations. And then, when there are mundane but essential tasks to conduct on the space station, R2 takes care of those, as well, freeing up the astronauts' time for more important responsibilities. Thus, in space and on Earth, robots manage to create healthier, happier humans. In fact, there are robots on Earth that exist specifically to boost human health. Just as contact lenses enhance human sight, robotics can increase human mobility. People with disabilities and various forms of paralysis now have hope that they can achieve better range of motion, when before this wasn't possible. With the help of robots, scientists are working to create an exoskeleton that will attach itself

who is gonna read all that and then do all that nobody wants to do that
sorry
the man has a point
he does?
yep
i dont even thing we r allowed to write a whole summary
but to write a summary you just pull out the main points and the important details so like if the start of a story was ''Jake's alarm went off in the morning. He knew it was time to wake up for school. Jake went to the bathroom, grabbed his toothbrush, put some toothpaste on his toothbrush, and brushed his teeth. After he was done brushing his teeth, he went and changed out of his school clothes, into his pajamas. He ran down the stairs to see eggs and bacon on his table for breakfast! Bacon and eggs is Jake's favorite food. Jake scarfed it down in less than 10 minutes, grabbed is backpack, and ran out the door, to the bus for school.'' (that would be just the beginning of the story) a summary for that would be ''Jake woke up in the morning and got ready for school'' or ''Jake woke up in the morning, had his favorite breakfast, and went to school'' something like that
