Dangerous - Space, Aerial and Underwater robotics, Bomb detectors and other miliitary robots also fit this picture.


Do you realize the number of people who work those jobs? Think about it, Food service, Cleaning, construction, and assembly line work. In all of those fields there is aleast 30 million people who work in one of those fields. The unemployment rate would simply skyrocket, and because those workers are generally unskilled, jobs for them would be nearly impossible to find for those who once worked in those fields.

So it comes down to this which would you rather have robots working potentially dangerous, or mundane jobs or a massive number of unemployed people?


In fact the only places where i would really like to see a large increase in robotics developement is in the military. I would really like to see robots relplacing soldiers in the most dangerous of tasks. Also i would like to see more robotics technology in assistance for the disabled.
