Main Body

Robotics is rapidly advancing and moving towards autonomous and humanoid robots is Tesla robot, Boston dynamics robots

Future potential of robotics sector:

1Performing complex tasks:
Sporobot - inspecting buildings, power lines

(II) Autonomous robots that can perform tasks without any intervention:

Warehouse management
Driverless cars

(III) Automating manufacturing plants and heavy industry with advanced robots

(IV) Robots in artistic field

(V) Defence and security enhancement:

Mine direction
ROWS - Remotely operated weapon systems

Job loss and displacement of low skilled and semi-skilled labour

Threat of misuse of robots for defence - attack on humans

Inherent biases from training, which may lead to incorrect working

Limited number of private players - may lead to oligopolistic market

No comprehensive legal system developed to an accountability in case of mishap

While robotics are advancing the institutions and legal systems need to be advanced in order to ensure just transition
