Robotic technology
Have you ever imagined our world without technology? I have no doubt about this question that’s because technology plays an important part in our lives, and it makes our lives far more convenient than it has been. Technology such as smartphones, apps, messaging, social networks oil, solar, wind, nuclear, hydroelectric, and robots are everything that we can’t possibly live without. Robot technology has become a very powerful force in the workplace, but it all comes along with the positive and negative aspects in many industries.
To start with, robots are a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the concept, design, and manufacturing. In 1954, Georg Devol was an American inventor who invented the first robot. Robots are used by millions of people in different industries around the global economy. In addition, robots can solve difficult tasks like lifting something heavy, working for long hours, toxic substances, repetitive tasks, and diagnoses. Apart from this, robots make life more enjoyable and easier than ever, they can also help us with our daily tasks at home. For example, EVE is the best robot assistant ever. That’s why most people want to buy this robot. EVE can help us with cooking, keeping the house clean, tutoring, guarding the house, and also helping with personal or professional needs. What is more, robots are used in many sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, construction, business, medicine, transportation, education, and many more. What a surprise is that around 3.4 million of robots are being used to work in manufacturing industries.

Nonetheless, robots are extremely expensive nowadays, since it has benefitted many companies in the world. It costs between $50,00 and $80,00 for a single robot. Moreover, robots produce with raw material extraction, and energy consumption contributes to a substantial carbon footprint. It increases productivity and reduces production costs, creating more jobs for robots. Sometimes, robots get stuck or errors and they respond badly. If robots are going to replace all of the jobs that humans do, the world will be a mess because of conflict with robots which robots are more intelligent than humans. Robots are facing a skill workforce shortage which is a common hurdle when implementing. Industrial robots need people who can operate maintain, and troubleshoot these issues. But one reason is robotics has no emotional connection. For instance, in healthcare, if we use robots, there will be no human interaction, and going to the hospital would give us the feeling of being tired and homeless. Sometimes, robots eventually analyze problems incorrectly, and human life would lead to worse. All things considered, robot technology is good indeed in many industries, and it gives us great potential to build our business in a competitive market. However, the robot industry can also replace human workers; people become unemployed. Everything will only work with machines and modern technology which reduces our ability to work and can lead to conflict or turbulence in the future. As far as I’m concerned, robots are good and give us many advantages, and somehow people shouldn’t depend much on this new technology for some reason because robots are just something that humans created, so humans are better and smarter. I want people to understand that besides giving great potential, robots can also cause problems in our society in some ways.
