Robots-Job Industry and Capabilities                                                           Mark Karenbauer

Robots are so technologically advanced at the present time that they are taking people’s jobs, and they are also coming more intelligent. 

 Humans cannot keep up with the building of robots.  Something, like a task that would take fifty or one hundred people only takes one robot which would results in job losses.  The mechanics that build the robots are able to build them where it is more capable to do tasks that humans simply just cannot do.  The unemployment rate is rising significantly in the past few years and hopefully the robotic industry does not kill the entire job industry for humans. This is a negative way the robots are in our society, but I will say they can also help us in a lot of ways.

The capabilities of robots have increased dramatically in recent decades. Advances in robotics have made the machines essential to modern manufacturing, space travel, transportation, security systems, communications and more – even housecleaning. Robots are very important to the United States military.  They can be a possible replacement for soldiers and they can also spy on the enemy.  They can also deliver ammunition for soldiers in need.  In the science world, they can search and explore in space and under water, and they can help in diagnosis for medicine.  In manufacturing in factories, the robots can assemble, weld, paint, carry stuff, and test the quality of things being made.  They can clean, serve as guards for a security situation, mow lawns, fight fires, guide people in situations, and deliver mail.  In emergency situations, they can search and rescue living things.  They can work in contaminated areas that humans cannot work in.  There are so many things robots can help humans in and at.  We just have to accept them and let them into our society for good stuff only.

It is the scope of this blog to inform you about the positive and negative advantages of robotics. We hope it will teach you all about their effect on the job industry, their capabilities, and the future of robotics and how they may effect on you individually.
