Welcome to Science Week 2012! Along with humanoid robots we should also have ‘man’s best friend’ robots too… Although this one’s job will eventually be fighting in a war - so not exactly ‘man’s best friend’ after all!!!
Welcome to Science Week 2012! Along with humanoid robots we should know about how useful robots are in making things for us …
Robotics Through the years • Robots in the real world have started to replace humans, especially in industry. • They are quicker, more accurate, and they don’t need lunch breaks! • They are used in many areas of manufacturing, technology, car making, defence and even fast food! • They are also used where it would be too dangerous to send a human e.g. Bomb disposal and disaster relief situations.
