Robots are machines that are capable of carrying out multiple or complex sequences of actions automatically, controlled by an external device. Since they are created to carry out actions, they have been used to take over some human jobs. Let us see how robots are taking over human jobs? And Why?
Why and How Robots are Taking Over human Jobs
Reliability
Robots can work overtime more than humans. Their works are not paid for and they can work for a very long time with accuracy and make few mistakes. They don’t need holidays or rest.
The robot is more reliable in this sense because it can leverage on the human emotional flaws, bosting productivity and total turn around time. Thereby saving cost also.
Flexibility
Unlike humans, robots are flexible in the sense that they can work in any environment, working in dangerous areas and reducing harm coming to other human workers. They can withstand harsh weather and conditions than humans. They lift heavy loads, and handle toxic substances.
Maximum Productivity
They have been programmed to do many tasks and so they can produce more than humans and they are fast in production. Not needing to divide their attention to any other activity, they focus more on their work. A robot will never feel stressed out and start running slower.
Quality work
Working as both an employee and quality control system, robots delivers a perfect job at the end of the day. Being created for a particular action or motion, they make less mistakes. Because of their accuracy and good work, they easily replace humans in some kind of jobs.
Safety
Safety is the most obvious advantage of utilizing robotics. Heavy machinery, machinery that runs at hot temperature, and sharp objects can easily injure a human being. By giving robots some of the dangerous to do, an employer will likely have to look at a repair bill than a serious medical bill or a lawsuit. People who work dangerous jobs will be thankful that robots can remove some of the risks in their jobs.
Conclusion
It has been a long time coming since robots have been taking over humans’ jobs especially those of heavy risks, and they are relied on for accuracy, timeliness, and faster productivity. The question isn’t whether it is a good thing or not; of course it is a good thing. This isn’t bad for human either because humans have to be the ones who build such robots – at least for now.
