Send us your robot designs

They can walk, they can talk, and may soon be thinking for themselves.

The way we work, play and live with robots is changing. But what have the experts missed?

We want you to design a robot that you'd like to see get built. What would it look like? What job would it have? And how would it fit in to your life?

This isn't a competition and there aren't any prizes, but it should be lots of fun! At the end of the week we'll put some of your designs to a top robotics expert.

Take a picture of your robot and email it in to us at newsroundpix@bbc.co.uk, external . Don't forget to tell us your first name, your home town and what your robot does!

Don't forget to get permission from your parent, guardian or teacher before you send us anything. We may show your designs on the website or in our bulletins on the CBBC channel. We'll show your first name and which town you're from - but we won't use your details for anything else.
