The objective of robotics is not to replace humans by mechanizing and automating tasks, but, rather, to find new ways that allow robots to collaborate with humans more effectively.
The objective of robotics is not to replace humans by mechanizing and automating tasks, but, rather, to find new ways that allow robots to collaborate with humans more effectively. Robots are better than humans at tasks such as crunching numbers and moving with precision. Robots can lift much heavier objects. Humans are better than robots at tasks like reasoning, defining abstractions, and generalizing or specializing thanks to our ability to draw on prior experiences. By working together, robots and humans can augment and complement each other’s skills.
