What inventions(发明) do you think there will be in the future? Do you have any ideas?We are building a Museum of Future Inventions near London. In the museum, you will see different inventions like cars and robots.

The museum will be very big. Visitors will move through the museum on moving walkways(通道). They will listen to the audio guides(导览机) to find out about the things in the museum. Some of the robots will talk to you. They can talk in a lot of different languages.

There will be cinemas, laboratories, classrooms, and a present shop in the museum. In the present shop, there will be fantastic things to buy for your friends and family. There will also be a Young Inventor Laboratory for children. Children will make their future inventions in the laboratory.

In the Technology (科技) Room, you will see some computers, TVs and screens of the future. There will be very small computers that you can wear like a watch. There will be small phones you will wear in your ears.

Do you have an idea for a future invention? Why not send it to us? We will send you a Future Inventor T-shirt. We will send the best ideas to the museum and they will put them on the walls of the Young Inventor Laboratory for everyone to see.

2 . Have you ever been to a professional sports game? If you have, you will know how quickly the ball flies around a court（球场）.

Often a player will become upset（沮丧的）by a referee’s decision. The Argentinian tennis player David Nalbandian was fined $ 8,000 at the Australian Open in 2012 for throwing water over a referee. The worst thing is that it turned out the referee was wrong.

We know the referee was wrong because of technology. In tennis, this is called Hawk-Eye because a hawk（鹰）is famous for its sharp（锋利的）eyes. Even when flying high above in the air, a hawk can see a little mouse running around on the ground below. Like the hawk watching down from the sky, Hawk-Eye technology misses nothing. It has a video camera which tracks（跟踪）the ball. The camera sends the data to a computer. Then the computer can work out exactly where the ball will land.

Some tennis fans think the problem with this kind of technology is that it can slow the game down. Some soccer fans say they are glad that the technology will now be used in soccer. They think it will help solve a lot of arguments（争议）.

3 . Sophia is a most famous robot. She comes from Hanson Robotics, and David Hanson, head of Hanson Robotics, is her creator. He has been developing robots in the past 25 years. He believes realistic﹣looking robots will be able to connect with people and help industries such as healthcare and education.

Sophia has many abilities. She can copy human facial expressions, hold conversations and recognize people by their looks or voices. She can also speak, joke, sing and even make music. Now, the next step is to make her an artist. Hanson is so excited about this idea.He imagines Sophia as a creative artwork and she herself can create art as well.

In March, a digital （数字的） artwork Sophia created with an Italian artist, Andrea Bonaceto, was sold for ＄ 688.888.The digital work is titled "Sophia Instantiation".It's a 12﹣second video which shows Bonaceto's portrait （肖像） changing into Sophia's digital painting.Along with it is the physical artwork painted by Sophia.

The buyer, a digital artwork collector and artist, later sent Sophia a photo of his painted arm.The robot then added that photo to her knowledge and painted more on top of her artwork.Sophia described the work as the first digital artwork cooperated （合作） between an AI and an artwork collector.

Sophia's artwork is part of a growing trend（趋势）.More and more digital artworks are on sale now.For example, a digital artwork by an artist, Beeple, was sold for nearly ＄ 70 million, becoming the most expensive digital artwork ever sold.
