According to new research, almost two thirds
(60%) of British people believe there will be a robot in every home within the
next 50 years and only a quarter of them can't imagine a life where a robot
wouldn't be part of their family.
Almost every aspect of modern human
life has been influenced by science and technology. Starting from the
smartphone you hold in your hands to browse Facebook, up to the smart house you
live in, there is at least two pieces of technology that has been made use of.
The field of science and technology has advanced throughout the past decades
and has changed our perspectives of life.
GOOD EFFECTS
Helping the Disabled
Many robotic
solutions have been introduced during the past decades, in order to help
disabled people. Disability robots have been
designed to help people recover from certain disease conditions and injuries.
Productive Work
Many high end
factories make use of robots in order to make their production lines more
efficient and time saving. These robots can perform more accurate and high
quality work. Their
quality build ensures that they rarely make mistakes and are more precise than
human workers
Implementing Lean Principle
The lean
principle implies creating more value for customers with
fewer resources. The ultimate goal is to provide the perfect value to the
customer through a perfect process that has zero waste. Robots are a good way
to implement the lean principle in an industry.
BAD EFFECTS
Lazy People
People get
robots to make their lives easy. However, do they make us lazy? People
now-a-days hardly do any work involving true manual labour. In the modern
context, there is less need for people to move around.
Over attachment
Giants in the
robotics industry such as Japan and Korea, have started building humanoid
robots. They are built in a manner to resemble the human body.
Loss of Jobs
Many companies
and factories have turned towards the use of robots in their main processes as
it is more cost effective. Robots have already begun replacing humans at an
alarming rate
