WHAT IS A
ROBOT?
A robot is a type of automated
machine that can execute specific
tasks with little or no human
intervention and with speed and
precision. By extension, robotics is
the engineering discipline dealing
with the design, construction, and
RISE OF
ROBOTS
• THE GROWTH OF ROBOTICS TODAY IS
FUELED BY A COMBINATION OF NEW
TECHNOLOGY, MARKET NEEDS, AND
SOCIETAL CHANGES. ROBOTS ARE
BECOMING MORE CAPABLE OF WORKING
ALONGSIDE HUMANS SAFELY, PERFORMING
VARIOUS TASKS IN WAREHOUSES,
FACTORIES, AND EVEN HEALTHCARE. THE
RISE OF ROBOTS, ESPECIALLY
RISE OF
ROBOTS
• HUMANOID ROBOTS, DESIGNED TO LOOK
AND FUNCTION MORE LIKE HUMANS, ARE
ALSO EVOLVING QUICKLY. THEY’RE NOT YET
WIDESPREAD, BUT AS THEY IMPROVE, THEY
COULD BECOME ASSISTANTS IN
CAREGIVING AND OTHER HUMAN-
CENTERED ROLES. KEY DRIVERS FOR
THESE ADVANCES INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENTS BY TECH COMPANIES AND
RISE OF
ROBOTS
• THE PROGRESS IN ROBOTICS, HOWEVER,
BRINGS CHALLENGES AND ETHICAL
CONCERNS, SUCH AS JOB DISPLACEMENT
AND DATA PRIVACY ISSUES. WHILE ROBOTS
ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT RATHER THAN
FULLY REPLACE HUMAN JOBS, IT'S
ESSENTIAL TO CONSIDER HOW THEY FIT
BENEFITS
OF Boosted Productivity and

ROBOTS
Efficiency:

Robots can handle repetitive tasks around the clock without


fatigue, which significantly increases output and consistency
in industries like manufacturing and logistics. For example,
autonomous mobile robots in warehouses quickly move
products from one area to another, reducing processing time
and helping meet customer demand more efficiently
Safety and Risk Reduction

Robots are particularly useful for handling hazardous tasks


that might endanger human workers. In industries like
mining, chemical handling, and heavy machinery, robots
reduce the need for human presence in dangerous
environments, lowering accident risks
BENEFITS
OF Improved Healthcare and Elder Care

ROBOTS
The robotics revolution is also making waves in
healthcare, with robots assisting in surgeries, patient
care, and even elder care. Some robots provide
companionship, assist with daily activities, or monitor
patients, which is especially valuable in countries with
aging populations, such as Japan
Enhanced Customer Service

Service robots are becoming more common in retail and


hospitality, where they can answer questions, provide
directions, or help with basic tasks, improving customer
experiences and freeing up human staff for complex tasks
BENEFITS
OF
ROBOTS
Increased Precision and Quality:

Robots equipped with advanced sensors and machine


learning can carry out highly precise operations that may
be challenging for humans, especially in fields like
electronics and pharmaceuticals. This accuracy helps in
maintaining quality standards, reducing waste, and
ensuring consistency
POTENTIAL
RISKS
0
• GLOBAL WEALTH GAP
The high cost of developing and maintaining advanced robotics may

1
increase inequality between rich and poor countries. Nations that
can afford these technologies might experience faster growth and
better living conditions, while those with fewer resources risk falling
behind.

0
• RELIANCE
Over-reliance on robots in critical areas (like security or military
applications) raises ethical concerns. Autonomous systems could be

2 subject to hacking, malfunctions, or unintended consequences, putting


public safety at risk.
POTENTIAL
RISKS
• PRIVACY CONCERN

0
robots often gather vast amounts of data to operate effectively, which raises
privacy concerns, particularly if sensitive personal information is collected

3
without sufficient protections or clear user consent. This issue becomes even
more significant with the rise of AI-enabled surveillance and monitoring
systems, which heighten fears of privacy violations and potential misuse of
personal data.

0
• JOB DISPLACEMENT
With robots increasingly performing tasks once handled by humans, sectors like
manufacturing, customer service, healthcare, and law may face significant job

4
displacement. This shift raises concerns about rising unemployment and
economic inequality, emphasizing the need for workforce retraining and reskilling
initiatives.
POTENTIAL
RISKS
0
• LOSS OF HUMAN SKILLS
Robots and AI are increasingly capable of handling tasks previously done by
humans, especially in manufacturing, customer service, and even some

5 areas of healthcare and law. This could lead to significant job loss in certain
sectors, raising concerns about unemployment, economic disparity, and the
need for workforce reskilling.
