Robots in the Future
Robots can and definitely will continue to change our lives in the future. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, a robot is a machine that resembles a living creature in being capable of moving independently and performing complex actions. Resembling a living creature, robots have helped our lives in numerous ways. For example, robotic vacuum cleaner already exists in many households and cleans autonomously without any control from a human being. With intelligent programming, robots exist in most of our lives. Therefore, many experts believe that the influence of robotics will spread faster and faster. By 2029, they predict that robots will look and function mostly like any other human being. They might even become smarter than most of the developers or creators.
Fast food restaurants are considering to have robots instead of usual part-time staff for different reasons. First of all, using a robot, they can save a lot of money as they do not have to spend any money on salary after they purchase the robot. Also, with robots, the speed of receiving order and cooking the food will take significantly less compared to humans. The robots will be able to identify the customers and read the orders. Then, they will be able to create the food faster than the human workers. With robots, there will be fewer mistakes made when taking an order and food waste will even decrease as revenues would increase.
Recently, Google also came up with an idea of creating a self-driving vehicle. With specific sensors, such as looking for speed limits, traffic lights, and traffic signs, the vehicle will have different sensors that would help people drive in a safer manner. There will also be some robots for the police departments as well. These robots will also have sensors so that they would be able to detect possible criminals in different locations. They would also inspect any dangerous weapons such as C4. They are programmed to detect any weapons and would cut any necessary wires. One of the popular robots is the drone. Drone is known as an aircraft without any human pilot. They would be able to view any scenes from the sky and develop potential strategies for the team watching the enemy.
With the rapid growth of robotics in the world, robots are the future and will be the future generation. It will take some time for us to adapt to the new culture, but it would definitely enhance our lives. The robots will be smarter and will have higher intelligence than us which will help us in everyday applications. It is shown that in the next decade, most of the jobs will be taken by the robots due to its efficiency, speed, and reducing the cost that will be spent by the company. Of course, there will be some negative aspects for the humans. As they will continue to take our jobs, many people will become unemployed. Losing jobs, there will be a bigger gap between people with and without jobs. Yet, the society still continues to strive towards a stage with robotics which will elevate human life.
