The Impact of Robotics on the Human Society
Improve Efficiency ďƒ˜ They can improve the effectiveness of manufacturing and industrial processes. ďƒ˜ They can also help to improve human health.
Impact on the job market ďƒ˜ Robots can only do certain jobs. They cannot build or design machines but they can be used to operate them. ďƒ˜ To build and maintain robots we need humans. At the same time they can render some human jobs obsolete.
Most useful in industrial manufacturing ďƒ˜ Industrial manufacturing is one of the most useful applications for robots. For example, robots are used by companies to build medical devices, car components, and electronic products. ďƒ˜ Robots are also used in packaging applications and food preparation.
Valuable to scientists ďƒ˜ Robots can go to places that humans cannot go. ďƒ˜ They can be sent to the bottom of the ocean or deep space. Hence they are very useful for scientists to conduct experiments.
Can assist humans ďƒ˜ Experts are of the opinion that robots cannot take over tasks from humans even if they are better suited for some tasks than humans. Hence, there won’t be any large scale job losses.
Quicker to train, cheaper to maintain ďƒ˜ Compared with humans, robots are not bored by repetitive tasks and can also be trained quickly. ďƒ˜ They can be repaired and refuelled easily, and maintenance is also cheaper.
Robotics can help care for the elderly ďƒ˜ They could help the chronically ill and the elderly to remain independent, reducing the demand for care homes and the need for carers.
Science and technology are popular with today's youth and they provides a pathway to career opportunities in the future. To engage young one in technology activities visit Virtus Robotics, a leading robotics training centre in Coimbatore & Chennai.
