      Hello again Emily,

      Robots can do heavy lifting, such as in manufacturing jobs (building cars). Robots can do dangerous jobs that humans couldn’t do – for example, robots were sent down Japan’s Fukushima nuclear reactor to send images back so that we could learn the extent of the damage caused by the earthquake which was triggered by the Tsunami. It would have been out of the question to send humans down the reactor due to radiation which would have led to death.

      We’re still smarter than robots though 🙂

      Huma
