Robots In Our World
Adriana Lopez

Robots in Our World There are over one million industrial robots living in households today and there are still more being brought in. According to Merriam Webster there are three definitions for a robot.
The first being, “a machine that looks like a human being and performs various complex acts of a human being.” The second is, “a device that automatically performs complicated often repetitive acts.” The third one is, “a mechanism guided by automatic controls.” Though humans may not be aware of it they are surrounded by robots every day such as phones, computers, TVs, radios, cars, and even some toys. Robots are programmed by humans to perform various tasks and if a person tells a robot to do something it must carry out that task. Slowly but surely robots have been quickly advancing over the last few years and they will keep advancing quite possibly until the first successful android human robot which may not even be possible for many years to come. The research of robots should not be regulated because they may prove useful and help better the way the humans live in the future.
There will be many new jobs provided to help contribute to build the robotic future.
According to Ryan Calo, a professor of law at the University of Washington, “We’re talking about robots now because they are so versatile and affordable, and that will have profound affects on manufacturing, the entire supply chain and jobs.” There will be jobs lost in areas such as labor work and seasonal work but that will open jobs to work on helping to sell robots and construct them. Also, the sales of industrial robots rose thirty-eight percent between 2012 and
2013. This means that robots are selling more than before and there will be help needed to build those robots and sell them. Marlin Steel, a company in Baltimore, rose from eighteen to thirty- four people in the past seven years because they began using robots to produce wire baskets
