Collaborative Robots are Not Job Thieves, They are Worker Tools

If we go back a couple years, the mentality facing robots was way different than it is now. Robots were designed to handle heavy parts, do dangerous tasks or to execute operations at an outrageous rate. Now robots are designed to work alongside humans. So they are more user friendly, do not need physical separation and most importantly they are safe for human workers to be around. So instead of stealing jobs from humans, they are actually helping them. In fact, by adding a robot to an assembly line, you can program it to help you handle a part or a do a redundant (or dangerous) task while you are busy doing something safer or more interesting.
