Why to let the robot to replace human engaged in productive labor? Reason there could be many, but in the end, is nothing more than two: first, for security reasons, some jobs are not suitable for people to do; Secondly, for cost reasons, some work let a person to do the cost too is high.
For security reasons is well understood – the world’s most valuable is the person’s life and health, in theory, as long as the life and health of the guarantee, so spend more money is worth it. Industrial upgrading from the viewpoint of this phenomenon are many, many of the traditional industries are prone to occupational diseases, big to mine mining, the small to spray ceramic glaze, who is easy to produce harm to workers health work finally certainly can make robots take over. Many of the guangdong foshan sanitary ware factory has began to spray glaze work to be done to the robot.
Is a better understanding for the sake of cost – the entrepreneur is not a philanthropist, the market is always profit, if a method can reasonable and lawful to reduce cost, so why not? According to the xinhua news agency, the United States Boston consulting group, says a new report in the next decade, cheaper and better robot will speed up instead of factory workers, promote labor costs by 16%. For manufacturing power, the effect of the robot to cut labor costs will be more significant.
But with all robots thousand good, but after all is not people. Robots are no mood swings, the benefits of stable working efficiency, to be involved in risk, effective work time is long, the long-term use of low cost. Yet shortcomings have many – no creative, subject to the conditions of the robot itself process, some special work is not completed, such as “eyes” of the robot (camera) resolution is limited, it is not easy to distinguish color difference is small, small volume, stacked highly unified object shape. In addition, even if the lower labor costs in the long run than artificial robots, but from the point of current reality, robot labor costs are still far higher than that of workers, a wide range of USES robot production, especially to build “unmanned workshop” is not realistic.
To sum up, let robot to replace human in mechanized production is an unstoppable trend, but the robot in the short term is not competent for all the manufacturing work, still need a lot of process operating sophisticated robot and skilled workers to cooperate to complete. And the experienced industry workers and improved understanding of the process, thinking, robot is impossible. Industrial workers should understand two things: first, in the short term, the robot will not affect the workers their jobs; Next, want to keep your job for a long time, in addition to enhance technical proficiency, more need to give a full play to the superiority of the people, enhance personal qualities. Robot, after all, is the essence of the machine and the control of the machine, after all.
