Intelligent machines such as robots are widely applied to take the place of
human beings. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using
machines in industry.
The technology of intelligent machines improves amazingly with the help of
artificial intelligence. Robots, known as steel-collar workers, are widely
employed in different aspects of life and industry such as marine research,
space exploration and some modern assembly lines. Robots bring about
advantages undoubtedly, and meanwhile, they are not as versatile as
expected.
The advantages of robots are innumerable. The employment of robots on
assembly lines saves a lot of labor forces. Robots are widely used in
developed countries. In Japan, one out of ten thousand workers are robots,
which not only improve the working efficiency but also enhance accuracy.
That is the reason why robots are so popular in automobile industry and
electronic production line.
Another merit is that robots can take the place of human beings and work in
the dangerous environment or the places not accessible for us. Human
beings have extended their cognition to the outer space, where there are
considerable unpredictable dangers. Robots can work in any kind of
situation, no matter how awful the environment is. In hospitals, robots work
as professional doctors doing operation on patients. Furthermore, robots can
work around the clock never knowing what tiredness is.
However, the disadvantages of robots are undeniable. Firstly, all robots and
other intelligent machines are designed by human beings. What robots do is
follow the instructions and pre-set programs by human beings. If there is
something wrong with the electric circuit or programs, robots will become
good-for-nothing machines. Besides, robots cannot work creatively when
confronted with complicated situations.
In short, robots are subsidiary to human beings. No matter how competent
they are in various kinds of fields, robots will never take the place of human
beings and play a decisive role in our work and life.
