The changing interaction between robots and humans in the working environment

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Miscellaneous, grade: B, Sophia Antipolis Campus (France); SKEMA Business School, language: English, abstract: Within my research paper I analyze how the further development of robotic devices will influence our working environment.

Robots are going to change the global economy drastically. With severe effects on the job market, as recent studies outline. In the United Kingdom alone one third of jobs could be omitted due to the ¿robot-revolution¿, in the United States with 47 percent even almost half. Especially in ¿low-skilled¿ job fields robots could take many working spaces of human beings, enormous social shifts would result.

Even though a lot of people argue that technical advancement and therefore the further development of robotic devices bring advantages to our lives for the most part, we have to start to realise that robots may replace our jobs and therefore adapt to a changing work environment. More and more people are outcompeted by a non-living species an, unlikeable scenario that though will take place in the future and therefore people have to learn to deal with this new setting.
