Robotics are now beginning to be used in everyday life, from travelling to space and back, to building machines such as cars and computers.
Strengths - They are resistant to heat, pressure, pain, and radiation e.g. Submersibles
- Perform repetitive tasks without boredom or errors e.g. Car Assembly Plant
- They are faster and more accurate in their work e.g. Circuit Assembly
- They can reduce the risk to human lifes e.g. Bomb Disposal
Weaknesses - Cannot cope with uncertainty or unpredictability
- Cannot make decisions or social decisions
- Still need a human commander
- Can only do the job they have been programmed to do
- They can act but cannot think
Well done for including this. I would group needing a human and act/not think together. They may operate without a human for long periods (think about a car plant) - but need to refer back to a human if the situation goes beyond its programming
