What do you think of when you think about ‘robots’? If you think they are only the stuff of space movies and science fiction novels, then think again. Robots are the largest growing technological devices in the world. They perform many functions ranging from space exploration to entertainment.
In the following essay the functions of robots, the various types of robots and the advantages and disadvantages of using robots will be discussed.
The reasons for using robots are almost endless for example ; robots are ideal for jobs that require repetitive , precise movements. Human workers get bored doing the same thing over and over, which can lead to fatigue, RSI ( Repetitive Strain Injury , and costly mistakes. Robots are also ideal for tasks that are dangerous, or where human workers may damage the product. For example, in a factory manufacturing medicines and chemicals that may harm humans, and factories that manufacte food that humans may damage by handling. Also used in tasks that are impossible for humans eg. Navigating mars or deep sea exploration.
The uses for robots are almost as endless as the reasons for using them.
There are five main areas in which robots are used.
Ninety percent of robots are used in factory

Another major area that robots are used is in space exploration. NASA spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year producing robots that allow the scientific world to discover more and more about the solar system that we live in.
tory work and assembly lines. They assemble cars, package food, load machines and repair machines.
With robots used in space exploration and factory work, their appearance is not really important, as long as they carry out their function and complete the task. Space exploration robots are usually bulky with many wheels and factory robots usually have many arms to carry out their task efficiently.
