Robots start replacing workers who do boring, dangerous jobs

Not only do people replace people to minimize work accidents, but the performance of these robots is 5 times higher than that of an employee.

China is one of the leading countries in utilizing robots and. Last year, the country succeeded in using dentist robots to examine and cure patients' teeth, as well as planning to build an uninhabited police station in a provincial capital.

These efforts are a sign that China is keen to become the leading AI country by 2030. To achieve that goal, the country must adopt robots in almost every field. Recently, China has gradually replaced workers in factories to increase industrial automation.

Xu Zhigang, a researcher from Shenyang Automation Academy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that about 25% of factories in China are replaced by smart enough machines to work. . Most of these places have dangerous and toxic working environments, which are dangerous to human health.

'Although there is a higher salary, young workers do not want to risk their lives to work in gun-making factories for the military. People who work here are often not careful and many occupational accidents occur mostly in such factories, causing serious injury or even death , 'he said.

Concerns about safety at factories producing gunpowder and ammunition have been long established, so these factories are often located in remote mountainous areas, far from residential areas. When working in this environment, only a small ignition can cause a big explosion, the person working here always carries a frenzy of fear.

In addition, even if there is no injury or death from an accident, hazardous chemicals in the air or by hand contact during the production of ammunition can also penetrate and accumulate for long into serious diseases. Wearing a mask or too tight protective gear will lead to difficulty in operation.

Since automation is introduced to factories, they look like eyes and hands for factories. Not only do people replace people to minimize work accidents, but their performance is 5 times more than a worker.

Robots that assemble weapons and weapons are just as accurate as they are tired. With these advantages, the application of robots in the production process will make the productivity increase from 100% to 200%.

'Robots can free people from boring but dangerous jobs like making bombs or weapons and guns. The work when given to the robot will be done optimally well, ' said Huang Dexian , a professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Russia is also investing in automation for its missile system, while the United States successfully tested the automation F-16 last year. Many experts warn, the over-automation of the military defense sector may involve many incalculable implications and may affect world peace.
