There's been a lot of talk about robots in the workplace recently. As an IT Engineer -- no robots are not taking over the workforce anytime soon. Before you sigh in relief, this could change on a dime. Robots are restricted to what we, as humans, can currently program. Think of it this way. If Albert Einstien never equated E=MC2 the nuclear bomb never would have come to fruition. Well robots are a bit like that, but even more complicated. They rely heavily on scientific discoveries, primarily psychology.

The major hurdle for robots is we don't know how we think. Until another Albert come's along and say's otherwise, robots will be restricted toward labor jobs. Or being able to count out $100 for you at the ATM, or being able to be a cog in the wheel of an annoying phone tree.
The awesome thing about this, is it can bring a ton of opportunity. Just because we don't know how we think doesn't mean we can't produce something that can prevent a DDOS attack.
"We are becoming more familiar with robots, but their sophistication has not changed much," assures U.S. robotics law and policy expert Ryan Calo. In fact, since the original coinage of the term 'Artificial Intelligence' more than 60 years ago, robotics technologies have progressed at a snail's pace; "Today, robots are about as smart as insects," confides Calo. The vision of a fully automated, autonomous manufacturing facility, while perpetuated with assurance by some, is little more than today's flying car.
