complex tasks requiring movement

dull repeating simple tasks

a combination of simple tasks

complex thinking and logical problem solving

Industrial robots are unable to make choices pertaining to their performance.

Industrial robots are unable to move.

Industrial robots are self supporting. Autonomous robots are not.

Autonomous robots complete dull simple tasks repeatedly.

They run programs

They can complete a wide range of tasks.

They can perform repeated tasks.

They don't physically exist in real life.

Cost effectiveness

eliminating risk

increased productivity

work in hazardous environments

Potential job losses

Investment Costs

Hiring skilled staff
