In the next 10 years, expect robots to make work easier in jobs, help in everyday life with cool
gadgets, and do more in areas like healthcare and schools.
e) What are the ethical implications of integrating robotics into healthcare and eldercare systems?
Using robots in healthcare means we need to think about keeping patient info safe, getting consent,
and using the tech in the right way.
f) In what ways can robotics contribute to sustainable development and environmental
conservation efforts?
Robots can help us take care of the environment by doing jobs like managing waste and using
resources smartly.
g) How might the advancement of artificial intelligence impact the capabilities and applications of
