Introduction
The discussion is based on identifying as well as describing a technological trend of
‘Robotics’ which was discussed in week 3 and 4. In doing so, the paper will critically discuss
the impact of robotics on the society, the workplace as well as environmental sustainability
after identifying the trend properly. In general, robotics can be seen as an interdisciplinary
research area that lies at the interface of computer science and engineering (CSE) (Carrozza,
2018). The new trend robotics often involves construction, design, operation, as well as the
use of robots for social welfare (Rossiter, 2019).
Working with Technology: Robotics
In the digital era, technology is trending in every area of life whether it is daily
activities, healthcare, education or military services (Rossiter, 2019). It has been found that
the key goal of robotics is to create as well as design intelligent machines which can further
help as well as assist human beings in their daily lives for keeping everyone safe (Weiss,
Lgelsbock, Wurhofer, & Tscheligi, 2011). In this context, technologies based on robotics
often consist of many processes which are required to design, build and thereby maintain
robots for the benefit of environmental sustainability, workplace, and society. To do this,
intelligent machines like robots are working as sophisticated, intelligent systems while being
used to assist maneuver spacecraft and pilots without direct human interventions (Sabanovic,
2010).
In the context of the workplace, if robots can take over the most challenging tasks of
any kind of job, then modern workers will experience less purposiveness (Kanda & Ishiguro,
2016). However, workplace outcomes will get more accurate and efficient while being
executed by robots. In addition to that, teaming up with robots at contemporary workplaces
may always lead to expanding opportunities, knowledge, skills and better outcomes. Thus, it
can be said that the robotics trend is leading to higher self-esteem and better social
recognition in modern workplaces (Rossiter, 2019).
Furthermore, robotics is impacting society in two ways include positive and negative
(Gaskell, 2018). It is because such an impact of robotics on society also influences
employment along with the motivation of employees in the workplace. Robotics in the health
care sector has major positive impacts on global society. For example, replacing humans with
