Some of them look like mechanical dolls to play with. Most of them look like other machines of todays technology.One of the advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it doesnt bother a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans.There are robots in the plastics industry and in chemical industry and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots is in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work.
