Editors of East Asian Science, Technology and Society: An International Journal
While robots will not replace humans completely, they certainly can enhance our existence and make it more meaningful and satisfying. Robots can free us from the burden of laborious and hazardous tasks: dangerous, dirty, dull, and intellectually degrading tasks. I call these the “Ds” of robotics, and “driving” vehicles. Such tasks are best suited for robots, as humans are far too intelligent and valuable to engage in such endeavors.
