The Effect of Robots

What problems are caused by robots? Although robots have the advantage of not being affected by human factors, such as emotions or fatigue, they still have a tendancy to cause problems. Robots are heavily relied upon in a number of different industries. Though, on occcasion these systems have been known to fail. This shows that you cannot be solely dependant on robots, because they can malfunction. They also cause environmental issues, due to the fact that they require the use of resources to function (electricity/gas) which has a harmful impact on climate change. Who is positively affected by them? People who benefit from robots are those in jobs where the task cannot be completed without the use of robots. For example, people working in aeronautic engineering design certain robots to help with missions, such as robots to help fix and repair damaged satellites. In addition, new jobs are created in software and sensor development, in robot installation and maintenance, giving more opportunities to people who major in that area. In medical laboratories, robots handle potentially hazardous materials, such as blood or urine samples. Who is negatively affected by them? Robots create manufactured products and goods that are of higher quality and lower cost. But robots can cause the loss of unskilled jobs, particularly on assembly lines in factories. Due to this, it is the duty of these people to help retrain workers who have lost jobs to these robots, providing them with new skills so that they can adapt and understand how to work in the industries of the 21st century.
