ABSTRACT

The integration of robotics into the fabric of human society represents one of the most profound technological shifts in history. As we advance through the 21st century, robotics has transitioned from a specialized industrial tool to a ubiquitous presence in healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, and daily life. This evolution raises a fundamental question: Is robotics a boon or a bane for mankind? To address this, one must view robotics not as an inherently good or evil entity, but as a powerful, neutral tool whose impact is defined by its application, regulation, and ethical governance.
