science fiction books from 50 or more years ago foresaw robots that walked, talked and looked like humans. Many of today's robots do not look like humans, but they do possess a wide array of human skills. They have become indispensable in the workplace, and in many ways robots have proven to be ideal employees. For example, robots are used in factories for such functions as drilling and welding. Thes tasks require exact precision and a perfect, steady hand. In some factories, robots assemble microscopic computer chips in ways that humans air physically unable to do. Robots can also perform repetitive tasks without risking the kinds of injuries to muscles and joints that human suffer.
