            The deployment of Robots in the healthcare industries was felt more during pandemic. Some robots
            could  help  relieve  tired  nurses,  do  some  basic  cleaning  and  could  help  to  supply  food  packages
            to the patients. Industrial robots could help to maintain production for manufacturing companies
            while their human co-workers are quarantined. Robots with humans could help and ease out human
            responsibilities. Thus, we can say Robots are useful during war and peace.

                 A.  Give two examples of the following types of robots:

                     1. Service Robots



                     2. Robots in Space and Research


                     3. Toy Robots



                 B.  Explain briefly how robots are helpful in the Agriculture Industry.






            Robots Vs Humans— Advantages and Disadvantages


            One of the most commonly debated topics nowadays is about the forthcoming victory of intelligent
            machines  over  mankind.  It  is projected  that  they will  take  over  the  world,  our  jobs,  be  able  to
            function autonomously and become more intelligent than us. Even the brightest minds of our era,
            like Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk believe they could pose a threat to humanity. Let us
            now understand what are the areas where machine supersede humans and where humans are ruling
            the world of machines.
