The document discusses whether robots will replace human work. It provides background on the history of robots, noting that the first digitally operated robot was invented in 1954. It outlines both the advantages of robots, such as increased productivity and reduced mistakes, and the challenges, including cost, inflexibility, and safety concerns. The document concludes that today robots are useful in industries, factories, warehouses, and laboratories.

behaviors that resemble those of humans. Following their programming, they may carry out duties. Robots have been significantly reducing human workloads over the past ten years or more, notably in the industrial sector. HISTORY OF ROBOTS The definition of “robot” has been confusing from the very beginning. The first digitally operated robot was invented by George Devol in 1954 and was ultimately called the Unimate. “Robot” comes from the Czech for “forced labor.”
The real-world definition of “robot” is just as
alippery as those fictional depictions.
It’s the intelligence, sensing and autonomy
that is key. ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTS
* Increase productivity * Save a great amount of time
* Reduce mistakes
* Work In Hazardous Environments
* Improve Quality Assurance
* Perform dangerous and monotonous tasks * Cost Effectivenes CHALLENGES • cost • inflexibility • lack of standards • managing workforce • training of workforce • safety concerns Today we find most robots working for people in industries, factories, warehouses, and laboratories. Robots are useful in many ways.
