The Conflict of Robots in the Workplace

Technology such as Robots and other new ideas to improve production and cut back on spending have started to create new industries. Their goal is to develop a robot that is just as efficient as a human being. Sawyer is a new kind of Robot that has created a lot of controversy since its announcement. Many people argue that it will create "global unemployment" but it could also save us from doing dull and sedentary jobs. Sawyer is more complex then other robots due to his flexible one arm that opens up more tasks that it can complete then could be done by past robots. Although they find it extremely difficult to produce a robot with the same dexterity or ability to use their hands as well as humans. There are good and bad sides to having factories run by robots, but Sawyer is a step into the future of Robotics and technology.

I believe that technology like this is a great idea for paving our way to create a better and more efficient future. Using robots for things like manufacturing and other assembly line jobs will work very well, but there is a line that I think should be drawn for robots. People should not lose jobs because of these robots in important places, there should be only a few positions that robots should work in as I have mentioned earlier. Robots do have advantages like never missing days or having issues that need to be solved, well because they are robots. The ideas that are in progress are very important to our development and I am excited to see what happens to robots in my lifetime.
