What happens when robots & humans work side by side? In sectors like agriculture & social care, robots aren't displacing workers - they are filling massive labour shortages.
In a recent discussion, SEED’s Chair Jim Mellon talked to Professor Nick Hawes
@hawesie at
@oxfordrobots who highlighted:
- Robots can provide food security where there is a lack of human labour.
- Physical robots have a higher impact on human motivation & companionship than screens or voices.
- Drones & mechanical means can be used in warfare instead of humans.
The future isn't about replacing humans - it's about re-industrialising & increasing quality of life through automation.
