One thing I didn’t know about robots is their impact on the job industry. Robotics has a huge impact on the job industry. Many people have been laid off due to the progression of robots. They have become so much more advanced in the last few years, robots these days can accomplish many tasks the average human can. There is a wide range of robots to robots that can vacuum to robots that can build cars. Another task robots have been used for is military combat. They have even developed robots that can talk. Other robots they have developed can accomplish large obstacles courses. One reason robots had such an advantage over people is that they can work without being paid and can accomplish the tasks much quicker than the human being.

Another thing I didn’t know about robots is how many robot conventions happen throughout the year. Robot conventions happen a lot throughout the year and all across the world. At the robot conventions new robots are developed and presented. There are some for sale, and some just to look at. Many people attend robot conventions and they are a big deal to many people. Japan is major country for robot conventions. Although in the year 2015, the International Symposium on Robotics will return to the United States. It is a prestigious convention and will be held in Chicago. One of the conference's main events will be the presentation of the Engelberger Robotics Award. The honor is the highest bestowed within the industry, and is named after Joseph Engelberger, known by many as the "father of robotics."

The last thing I didn’t know about robots was the different categories of robots. The different categories are industrial, explorer, laboratory, medical and real world robots. Industrial robots are simply a single arm with a special attachment in the place of a hand. Explorer robots, the only true explorer robots that are already in operation are those developed by NASA and are in outer space. Laboratory robots include advanced microcomputers with multi-jointed arms and sophisticated vision and tactile sensors. Medical Robots: As the level of sophistication in robotic technology increases and computers become more powerful there will be a greater prevalence of robots doing formerly human work in the laboratory and in the operating room. Real World Robots: This type of robot is perfect for the assembly line; however, it would be completely hopeless in the outside world.
