I'm a bit on the fence about robots. There is no doubt they have massive advantages, but proliferation of robots WILL make people more lazy and complacent towards things. For all the things the internet and computers gave us, we've also seen that people tend to get stuck in a virtual bubble, with phone addiction and people exclusively seeking online echo chambers being a real and dangerous thing. For all the benefits computers have given us, I see them doing more harm than good, and I cannot pass the feeling that robots are heading in the same direction.

The agricultural complex has given us rampant obesity, the internet has given us reduced social skills, universal access to electricity has given us the greenhouse effect. Do we really want to open another Pandora's box, when robots have already been developed to their maximum potential without causing collateral damage, as seen by the Da Vinci and that Marine Reef Robot?
