A robot is a computer-programmed electro-mechanical machine that has the capacity to perform tasks using an intelligent mind. Modern researchers continue to invent advanced robots to cater for their increasing demand. Industries are using robots to achieve what seems impossible with human beings; therefore, overlooking the misconception that robots came to replace the humans. One cannot fail to notice robots’ use in everyday life, directly or indirectly (Robbie, 2013). One finds robots in cars, houses
The first surgical robot was called the Arthrobot, developed and used for the first time in 1983 in Canada. The team that developed this robot was led by Dr. James McEwen and Geof Auchinlek and was in collaboration with an orthopedic surgeon by the name of Dr. Brian Day. There was even a movie produced by National Geographic on robotics that featured the Arthrobot. Around the same time, other medical robots were developed including a robotic arm that performed eye surgery and another that acted
counter working in his field. Robotics engineering which is a sub domain of Mechanical engineering is a rapidly growing field with many unique aspects that will ultimately lead to ethical situations not addressed in existing engineering ethical codes. At present there is no governing body devoted solely to professional robotics engineers, nor a code of ethics to govern their behavior. The behavior of a robot depends mostly on the robotics engineer who designs and builds the robot. Engineers who are into

Research organizations have been working on building climbing, walking and humanoid robots for various operations such as disaster relief, battles. Moreover, The Army is under pressure to cut the number of soldiers to reduce the loss of lives and expenses as well. Also, soldiers are returning home in flag draped caskets to heartbroken parents. Robot soldiers has inspired and filled in excitement, as these autonomous robots and mobile machines can make decisions to fire upon a target without Intervention
also to recover from. Robotic surgery is an advanced technology with a serious mechanism that operates patients with the use of smallest technical instruments instead of traditional operation where a doctor directly performs the surgery. Surgical robots are designed with two arms that are used during the operation and while the surgeon monitors through a 3D camera. This
global market. For instance, China has a large labor force with much lower cost of living for the employees compared to the US. China’s workforce is about 98 million employees while the U.S. has only about 17 million workers in the manufacturing field. But the average hourly compensation cost of
Recent technological innovations have made technology more efficient within the workplace. From simple software scripts that are able to robotize a wide range of digital workflow process to sophisticated robots capable of performing an ever-growing number of physical tasks. Automation continues to provide new solutions and alternatives throughout many different industries. While there are numerous potential advantages and long-term benefits, there are also a number of concerns associated with automation
become our new reality. In researching the question, will computerized robots replace human construciton workers? My answer is yes. In this paper, I will explain and demonstrate, through my research, why I believe that computerized robots will be replaced by human construction workers. The industry has evolved from human hand drawn paper blueprints to computer generated blueprints and home designs. For example, in certain fields they are using computer laser guided cutting systems for granite glass
Most of current manual jobs, especially in the assembly category get a massive replacement of machinery like robots that receive continuous upgrading to improve flexibility and ease of task handling. The critical element of thinking demonstrated by humans gets adopted in robotics and automation by the developments intensified in the field of Artificial Intelligence. The fear of robots taking over human tasks should get dismissed because the adoption of new technology elevates innovation levels
