On the other hand , "gas mileage" is the number of miles a car can travel on one U. S. gallon of gas. For example , a big car that gets 25 miles to the gallon gets very good mileage.

Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do a simple job. 　　When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is　hot before washing the clothes. It does this by"feedback."Information about whatis　happening is 　"feedback"into the robot to tell it what to do next. 　　Our eyes , ears and other senses are our feedback . They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like people in two ways. They work and they have feedback. 　　There are robots all around, making our lives easier.
