机器人带来的利与弊.doc

精品文档Robots have entered ordinary peoples life widely since the past century. However, the controversy between robot application and restriction on robot production is still an emerging issue. In order to find whether the advantages of robot application outweigh the disadvantages, which in turn lead to discuss the governments action on the investment towards robot business, it is essential to extract the effects of robots on both positive and negative sides. Robots are beneficial due to their high working efficiency, ability to complement human weakness, but they are also limited because the deprivation of job opportunities.The biggest contribution of robots is their application in manufacturing. Compared to workers, robots demand low wages, no subsidy, and no need for rest. Additionally, they are able to work faster and more efficient which increases productivity. In a factory which only has robotic workers, the producing rate drastically increases three times than before. If governments spend more money on robot in factories, the productivity is going to increase dramatically.Robots are also beneficial for the recovering of patients. The wearable devices are able to push patients boundaries of their capabilities. If a persons leg gets injured, the devices equipped on his legs could help him walk even faster than before. Moreover, the robotic technology enhances human brain function to a great extent. It acts as an alternative organ for people with lung failure or other disabilities, which gives them a second chance to come back to life.Utilizing robots massively could lead to fewer job opportunities for people. In some cases, robots will replace peoples position because of their cheap and high efficiency characteristics. In some factories, many employees get dismissed and the positions are taken by robots. Currently, there is a considerable number of people who make a living by doing heavy labour. Wide application of robots might deprive those people of their jobs. Unemployment will cause instability of the society. To conclude, the benefits of robots overweight the disadvantages. The merits of robots are high working efficiency and strong physical capability. The drawback is the
