Technology. of intelligent machines improves amazingly with the help of artificial intelligence.Robots, known as steel-collar workers, are widely employed in different fields, such as marine research, space exploration and some modern assembly lines. Robots bring about advantages undoubtedly, and meanwhile, they are not as ver
satile as expected.
The advantages of robots are innumerable.The employment of robots on assembly lines saves a lot of labor forces. Robots are widely used in developed countries. In Japan, one out of ten thousand workers are robots, which not only improves the working efficiency, but also enhances accuracy. That is the reason why robots are so popular in the automobile industry and electronic production lines.
Another merit is that robots can take the place of human beings and work in dangerous environments or places not accessible for people. Human beings have extended their cognition to outer space, where there are considerable unpredictable dangers.Robots can work in any kind of circumstance, no matter how awful the circumstance is. In hospital, robots work as professional doctors performing operations on patients. Furthermore, robots can work around the clock, never knowing what means to be tired.
However, the disadvantages of robots are undeniable. Firstly, human beings design all the robots and other intelligent machines. What robots do is to follow the instructions and pre-set programs set by human beings. If there is something wrong with the electrical circuit or programs, robots will become good-for-nothing machines. Besides, robots cannot work creatively when confronted with complicated situations.
In short, robots are subsidiary to human beings.No matter how competent they are in various kinds of fields, robots will never take the place of human beings and play a decisive role in people's life and work.
