Learn Italian: I robot lavoreranno per noi? - Will the robots work for us?

In the future tense, regular -are verbs change their characteristic 'a' to an 'e'. So, the base becomes lavorer- instead of lavorar-. Then, you add the 'they' (loro) ending -anno, giving you lavoreranno (they will work).

Why doesn't the word robot change to show it's plural?

In Italian, foreign loanwords that end in a consonant (like robot, computer, or sport) do not change in the plural. You have to look at the article to know if the word is singular or plural. Here, the plural article i in i robot tells us it means 'the robots', whereas 'the robot' would be il robot.

Why do we use noi here for 'us' instead of ci?

We use noi because it follows a preposition (per, meaning 'for'). After prepositions like per, con (with), or a (to), you must use independent 'stressed' pronouns (like me, te, noi, voi). You would only use the object pronoun ci if it were attached directly to the verb, like in I robot ci aiutano (The robots help us).
