In a sense, modern commercial aircraft and many military fighter aircraft are already flying robotic devices.

Built in computer controls fly many of the airplanes that are in the air at this moment, it's called "fly by wire". Some of the fighter aircraft are so difficult to keep in the air, the only way to actually perform that task without tiring out the pilot is to have the computer manage the control surfaces while the pilot only appears to fly the airplane.

As for commercial aircraft, auto-pilot is certainly a robotic function.

Why does NASA send robots into space?

NASA sends robots into space to gather data, conduct experiments, and explore worlds that are too harsh or distant for humans to travel to. Robots are able to endure extreme environments, work for extended periods of time with minimal maintenance, and provide valuable information that helps advance our understanding of the Universe.


Where are most robots used earth or space?

Robots are an integral part of life on Earth and in space. However, there are far more robots on the surface of the Earth than in space. Some notable robots on earth include manufacturing robots and robotic surgery tools. Those in space include the robots exploring Mars and the solar system.


When the robots are discovered and whomdiscovered it?

Robotics is an engineering category, and as such, robots were never "discovered". Robots were designed and built by engineers who had a specific goal in mind when they did so. In a sense, a steam engine is an example of a simple robotic device, since the position of the piston causes the valve to open and close; however, most machines are much more complex before they are considered to be "robotic". Unfortunately, the modern film industry has romanticized robotics and has caused many uneducated people to imagine that robots are sentient entities. Robots are machines. As such, robots have no feelings. Robots, as all machines, perform their tasks as they were designed.


What are the disadvantages of sending robots into space?

Some disadvantages of sending robots into space include limitations in their ability to adapt to unexpected situations, the potential for technical malfunctions without immediate human intervention, and the inability to provide real-time decision-making capabilities in complex scenarios. Additionally, robots may not be able to perform tasks that require human-like dexterity or creativity.

What is the difference between smart robots and dumb robots?

Smart robots are robots that operate under programed control and are able to learn as they perform their tasks. They are used in scientific exploration and deactivating bombs.On the other hand, dumb robots are non-adaptive robots that are used to perform repetitive tasks and learn nothing during the process. These robots are valued for their efficiency for performing industrial jobs that are repetitive or dangerous.


What will robots do in the future?
