What are Disadvantages of robots?

Answer

Business success is not guaranteed by the introduction of robotic systems and robots in the workplace. As in any competitive society, certain companies will move to the front in industries, and other companies will lag behind due to the lack of sufficient financial resources and technical expertise, etc.

Disadvantages of robotic systems and robots may be as follows:

High initial cost of robotic systems and robots.

Possible need for extra space, and new technology, to accommodate robotic systems and robots.

Importance of using highly skilled and technical engineers, programmers and others to set up robotic systems and robots to prevent unnecessary future problems and mishaps.

Learning curve of persons working with new robotic systems and possible injuries during that time.

Robotic systems and robots are limited to their functions and only the programmers really know what those functions are. Unless Artificial Intelligence is highly sophisticated, robots may not respond properly in times of an emergency or when some unexpected variance occurs.

Introducing new systems will inherently bring out defects.

Intellectual or physical limitations of employees or household consumers with regard to the operation of a robot or robotic system.

Moral Issues

Countries and companies appear to be aggressively working to have consumers idolize robots and robotic systems for their own personal best interests.

Robots and robotic systems replace certain workers causing economic losses with possible resultant shortening of lifespans.

Certain people, due to lack of funds, may not be able to access important uses of robots - for example, certain surgeries using robotic systems.

Certain military robots are pro-war.

The aggressive introduction of robots and robotic systems in the world is making companies and human beings more dependent upon robots and robotic systems and therefore a more dependent society.

Since Artificial Intelligence is becoming more sophisticated and robots will be entering more households, there may be important negative effects on the human family system.

Robots for personal or domestic use have few disadvantages beyond the costs for maintenance. They are very expensive, too.
