When we talk about robots, we tend to think of the robots we see on television or in the movies. These robots could catch criminals, tell jokes and do many other things. Actually, nowadays we have robots in many different fields for different purposes, so don’t let the following falsehoods stop you from buying a robot.

     1. Robots are too expensive. I could never afford one.

     False. Robots are more affordable today than ever before. The wide use of robots has led to a large decrease in robot prices over the last several years. The typical robot costs as little as 20,000 dollars. Moreover, the benefits of robots are much more than the cost. Robots are designed to increase production and profits, but at the same time, they will minimize waste and accidents.

     2. Programming and operating a robot is complicated. It can only be performed by a professional robot expert.

     False. You can learn to operate and program a robot with a short-term training. If you are familiar with computers, learning to operate robot software is easy. Many soft-ware programs are designed with a graphical user interface (图形用户界面) and some use Windows.

     3. Robots will eventually replace all human workers.

     False. While robots are changing the workplace by handling boring and dangerous jobs, they don’t decrease the need for human workers. Instead, they are creating skilled, higher-paying jobs. Human workers are still very useful when it comes to doing complex jobs. At the very least, many robotic systems need knowledgeable operators to oversee (监督) the work and deal with problems.
