      Hi!

      So… the reason we want to allow robots to predict the future, is so robots can anticpate what will happen next. Humans have evolved to predict the timing of things, such that we know when to move our arms to grasp or catch an object etc. If robots can begin to preict when or what things human’s will do, it will allow more efficent interactions, and so improve things such as helping make breakfast together, or helping doing any task that involves human co-operation.
