robots can perform repetitive tasks without becoming tired or bored. They are used in automobile
factories to weld and paint. Robots can also function in hostile environments. They are useful for
exploring the ocean bottom as well as deep outer space. Finally,robots can perform tasks requiring
pinpoint accuracy in the operating room. Robotic equipment can assist the surgeon for instance. A
robot can kill a brain tumor it can operate on a fetus with great precision. The field of artificial

useless. Therefore,humans should not worry that. Robots will take over the world-at least not yet.
