    Smart Homes and Assistive Robots
                     AI robots are used in smart homes to perform tasks like cleaning
                     (robot  vacuums), monitoring  security  and controlling  home
                     automation systems. They can learn user preferences and adjust
                     the environment accordingly.

                                                                 If a robot avoids a human to

                     ADVANTAGES AND CHALLENGES

                     Robots bring numerous benefits to various industries, but their integration also comes with certain
                     challenges that need to be considered.

                     Advantages of Robots

                     Robots offer several key advantages that make them valuable assets across different industries:

                     1.  Increased  efficiency: Robots  can work continuously,  boosting  productivity  by  completing
                        tasks faster than humans.
                     2.  High precision: They can perform tasks with great accuracy, reducing errors in detailed work.

                     3.  Safety: Robots operate in hazardous environments, reducing risks to human workers.

                     4.   Cost  savings: Over  time,  robots  reduce  the  need  for manual labour, cutting  costs  and
                        improving consistency.
                     5.  Versatility: Robots can be reprogrammed for various tasks across multiple industries.

                     Challenges of Robots

                     Despite their benefits, robots also present several challenges:
                     1.  High initial cost: The upfront cost of designing and installing robots can be prohibitive for
                        smaller businesses.

                     2.  Limited  creativity: Robots  lack  the  ability  to think  creatively  or adapt  to  unpredictable
                        situations.

                     3.  Maintenance and repair: Regular maintenance is needed and breakdowns can be costly.
                     4.  Job Displacement: Automation raises concerns about the potential loss of human jobs.

                     5.  Dependence on technology: Robots are reliant on software and electricity, meaning system
                        failures can cause disruptions.
