Wearable robotics technology may prove tremendously useful in carrying out hazardous tasks without harming the environment.

Harnessing The Nature With Robots

Compared to beasts, man is a delicate creature of this ecosystem. He is more sensitive to temperature changes like heat and cold and gets infected with the bacteria and other pathogens very quickly. Scientists worldwide have evolved technologies to enable mankind to resist those changes. But since each technology also produces some side effects due to which the environment is getting polluted with a quicker rate, causing serious concern in the scientific fraternity.

Robots, the machines invented in the twentieth century are capable of slowing down the fallouts of modern technologies to a great extent, if not totally weeding out the problems of side effects. Robots are not only the mechanical arms, feet, but also act as brains of and give man relief to take decisions at times.

They are most suited the monotonous jobs of cutting, welding, and painting in the factories. They respond to sounds, light, touch, proximity, smell, and tastes – like those of human beings. Such capabilities like learning, walking, talking, recognising faces and taking independent decisions like human beings, make them the faithful and the loyal servants of their owners.
