- 7. Why do we have Robots? Why do we have Robots? Robots make life easier. They are designed to complete Robots make life easier. They are designed to complete harder tasks and are quite often used in dangerous harder tasks and are quite often used in dangerous missions to protect human life missions to protect human life Without Robots society would not be able to function Without Robots society would not be able to function efficiently. Robots are used to complete tasks that efficiently. Robots are used to complete tasks that human kind cannot. For example: Space explorations, human kind cannot. For example: Space explorations, bomb detection, medical surgery bomb detection, medical surgery Robots are used in industry as they are needed to Robots are used in industry as they are needed to complete tasks that humans cannot. For example: complete tasks that humans cannot. For example: Underground mining, car manufacturing Underground mining, car manufacturing Robots are less expensive in the long term as companies Robots are less expensive in the long term as companies need less humans and companies do not have to pay need less humans and companies do not have to pay robots salary/wages robots salary/wages
