What is a Robot? This is the Era of Robots. When we talk about Robots, what comes in our minds? It’s probably Terminator fighting other Robots. Although the sole concept of Robots shown in the movie is pretty wrong the true definition of a robot is, a human-like machine which helps in solving complex tasks.<\/p>\n

Definition of a Robot is Human-like machines which help us in solving complex tasks. Isn’t that right? From Automotives and Electronic
\nManufacturing to Medical and Food services, Robots are basically everywhere. So, the point is that Robots in our world today are less like human-like Robots and more like Industrial tools to help build up machines and do complex tasks. I have to agree with Bill gates that Robots will make our world a better place.

\"Industry
Here’s an example of Industrial Machine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But that doesn’t really mean that Robots do not contain some disadvantages. Of course, the employment rate will drastically fall. According to The Verge<\/a>, Automation threatens like 800 Million jobs but the Technology itself can save us though this statement has its pros and cons too.
\nAutomation will take jobs from laborers but it will give jobs to operators who have knowledge about running the machines.
\n\"Labor
\nSo what will happen to the poor workers from this addition? Will they become unemployed? How will they lead their lives? What will happen to their families? This is one of the drawbacks of Automation and Robots.
\nNow let’s talk about some of the myths about robots that people think nowadays.<\/p>\n

Myths about Robots<\/h3>\n

Nowadays, there’s a myth among people that, Robots are going to destroy the world and Artificial Intelligence is going to take over the world. Is it true though? My answer to this is, “IT DEPENDS<\/strong>“. There’s a saying:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 “With Great Power Comes Great <\/strong><\/em>Responsibility”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Robot\"
Are Robots going to replace us?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So really it depends upon how our world is going to use that. If we put Robots with Artificial Intelligence to good use, like building machines and helping our world, It’s all good. But if we program robots for assassination and killing, that’s going to be a pretty big problem and it can cause harm to our world.
\nBut that’s just a hypothesis and no one can say it with sure whether or not Artificial intelligence in Robots is going to end our world like creating a revolt against humans.
\nThere are a couple of more myths that people think are true about robots. Let’s name some of them.<\/p>\n

1) Robots are Human-Like<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, in movies, we see a lot of Robots. Often, they are portrayed as human-like robots. They have human alike features such as face and voice. Moreover, they are just structured as human beings according to their bodies. The legs, arms, and torso, are similar. But, to be honest this concept of robots is wrong.
\nThey essentially do not have to follow these traits to be actually named as Robots. Simply put, robots are just a piece of technology that works for human beings. Therefore, that doesn’t really mean that Humanoids will do efficient work. Even if human-like robots get into the trend, they might not really be liked by a lot of people.
\nIn my opinion, human alike Robots don’t really make much of a sense as they are kind of a threat to our identity? Let me know what you think about it.<\/p>\n

2) Robots outsmart Humans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It’s really easy to fool ourselves by thinking that Robots are outsmarting us. Say, for example, AI in games like Chess and stuff. They outsmart us in every way. So, it’s really easy to admit that we are inferior to machines. Are machines actually or had they already surpassed our knowledge?<\/p>\n

If a machine is faster and does stuff better than the human mind, it really doesn’t mean that it’s better than us in any way. We, humans, have the ability to think freely. Moreover, we have something called as learning from a mistake. Artificial Intelligence essentially doesn’t mean that it’s the real form of intelligence.<\/p>\n

Human beings are still superior to any machine until this date. It’s because we can learn stuff from different experiences.
\nIf we talk about robots, they have a really limited way of learning. On the other hand, we think endlessly. So, it’s a totally unfair match between both parties if we put it that way.<\/p>\n

3) Robots Getting Dangerous<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In movies, once again, they try to portray a whole other story. It makes the story interesting if they make it something like robots against humans. This is all for fame and money. But, if we talk about real life, it’s not really that surprising that modern scientists think that AI in Robots could go out of hands.<\/p>\n

But, could and can is different. We are talking about the present. And in present as of now, there is no threat, to be honest. Rather than that, robots are only helping us in doing different stuff. For example, surgeries, search and rescue missions and a lot of other stuff.
\nSo, rather than thinking that Robots will destroy us, we should take a look at some of the best ways they are helping us. Against, Robots aren’t just humanoids. There is much more to them.<\/p>\n

4) Robots are a Recent Invention<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most of the people think that Robots were invented in like, the last decade mostly. Therefore, it’s really not that surprising to think that Robotics is the future. Let’s be real, it’s been thousands of years since robots have been helping us by serving us. Robots aren’t just humanoids and I’m sick of saying this again and again.<\/p>\n

Long ago, a wooden pigeon was created which was capable to fly. That was the robot at that time.
\nTherefore, any machine that helps humans in building stuff or helping them out is called a robot. So really, the concept that people have in their minds is kind of messed up. Robots have been there for centuries. They’ve served us for better. Robots helped us in our work.
\nThey are just an awesome and mind-blowing invention.<\/p>\n

5) Robots only Manufacture Cars<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, in a lot of case scenarios robots do help in manufacturing various products. Although that doesn’t essentially mean that all of the manufacturing is made by humans. Let’s take an example of the Car Assembly. There was once a time when almost 90% of the cars were made using robots. But nowadays, Robots are literally everywhere.<\/p>\n

From that, I mean everywhere. From Construction sites to hospitals. Robots are helping us. Therefore, this is a really cool way of advancement in our world. As of now, only 50% of robots are working in a car and other automotive manufacturing.<\/p>\n

6) Robots are Expensive<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Believe me or not, there is this weird myth about robots that they are really expensive. Whenever an advanced piece of technology comes in our mind, we think that it’s going to be really expensive. Part of it probably is true.<\/p>\n

But, as time passes it’s really not all true. The reason is that we are making smarter products every day. With smarter products, the smarter price tag also comes. Therefore, there are a lot of budget Robots out there in the market. That just depends on what type of stuff we are needing robots for. If you talk about toys, they are as low as $10. E<\/p>\n

There are even robots that will assist you in a lot of ways. They can be found as low as $200. This is the type of advancement we have reached this point. Therefore, this myth is wrong and it’s just a terrible misconception.<\/p>\n

7) Rise of Robots will cause Unemployment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is kind of a long debate, to be honest. Therefore, I will try to make things very simple. Yes, it is true that a lot of jobs will be stolen with the increased of Automation and AI in robots. Many countries like America is even worried about this issue. But, to be honest our world will adapt to this advancement.<\/p>\n

Imagine banks getting smarter or Taxis getting fully automated. This will lead to mass unemployment indeed. But, to be honest it will create even more jobs. And there’s a slight chance that Robots and humans will co-exist in this environment. Now back to the main topic. With a lot of jobs being stolen, a ton new will also be created.<\/p>\n

The maintaining of Robots and Engineering will increase dramatically. Therefore, I don’t really think there’s any reason stopping the use of robots when they can make out future better.<\/p>\n

8) Engineers can only Make Robots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is another misconception that a lot of people have. A lot of people think that you have to be an engineer to actually make Robots. This is a wrong thought. You don’t need to be an Artificial Intelligent engineer to build one of these.<\/p>\n

With interest and enough tools, you can make one at home. You don’t even need to have a million dollars, to be honest. Therefore, one with the right passion can actually make robots. The urge to the building makes a man do stuff. After assembly, you can program the robot to behave what you like it to be. Moreover, you need to be pretty passionate about what you’re doing<\/p>\n

\u00a0Now let’s talk about how robots are changing our everyday lives and how much Robots are serving our Industries nowadays.<\/h4>\n

How Robots Are Changing Our Everyday World?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robots are everywhere. No matter where we go, we see robots, whether it’s under the ocean, there are robots, or whether on the surface, there are Robots. There is just no way that our world exists without robots today.
\nRobots have become a part of our Earth, bringing a happy revolution in the name of Science and Technology, also from Home sweet home to the depths of Space, there are Robots.
\nSo, first of all, let’s talk about some of the most Advanced Robots we get to see today.<\/p>\n

Advanced Robots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Robot Simian<\/h3>\n

Made by JPL NASA, Robot Simian is a spider-like Robot with multiple hands clearly, making it exactly like a spider, moreover the versatility and flexibility of Simian is uncanny, making it perfect Artificial Intelligent robot. NASA created Simian and Simian took 5th place in DRC finals held between 5-6 June.
\nRobots can actually be useful in times of accidents and disasters, also the sole purpose of designing Simian was to make it work for rescue missions.<\/p>\n

In the above image, you can see how it actually looks. Whether there’s a fire or an accident or even a nuclear mess, Simian is there to clean for you, that’s what NASA claims. Simian is pretty flexible. It can do some complex jobs that we cannot even imagine to do. It contains the following features:<\/p>\n
