I\u2019ve worked in 3 different areas of robotics including autonomous navigation, prosthetics and industrial robotics and I can see how they are making a positive impact by being integrated into society. If you read the testimonials from hand amputees who used prosthetic arms and how it changed their lives, you can see that kind of impact. The fear and concern is understandable, but the better quality of life we get by having robots into our lives is undeniable. For example, tedious and physically demanding work can be done by robots which reduces the risk of human injuries and pains. With self-driving cars, the hassle of driving is something from the past.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Yes, some people will lose their jobs and machines will replace millions of workers around the globe. But this needs to be addressed at different levels. Government policies should be adapted to take care of unemployed people, retrain them and equip them with necessary skills. Education systems have to prepare the next generations for the change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true,\"start\":2} --><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\"><!-- wp:list-item --><p><\/p>\n<li><strong>Should there be a set of rules for programmers and engineers to follow when they build and program robots?

I believe safety is the major criterion we should always consider when designing, building or programming robots. And beside any legal rules that might be in place, there should be ethical ones. For example the deliberate harming of humans by robots should be absolutely not allowed. Meanwhile, given the growing use of AI in robotics, some aspects need to be considered like the protection of human\u2019s privacy and the ability to communicate with a human being when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Riccardo Ertolupi, Software and Firmware Engineer and <\/strong><strong>Twice Italian Champion of Robotics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"left\",\"id\":3515,\"linkDestination\":\"custom\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/riccardo-ertolupi.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16786\" src=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/riccardo-ertolupi.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/riccardo-ertolupi.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/riccardo-ertolupi-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/riccardo-ertolupi-45768467\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16774\" src=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/linkdin-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"55\" height=\"55\"><\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/3R_LikeNoOther\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16770\" src=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/twitter-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"62\" height=\"62\"><\/a><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1572098779808.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3515\" src=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1572098779808.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/riccardo-ertolupi-45768467\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3442\" src=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/iconfinder_5296501_linkedin_network_linkedin-logo_icon_512px-150x150.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":3443} --><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"left\",\"id\":3442,\"linkDestination\":\"custom\"} --><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} --><\/p>\n<ol><!-- wp:list-item --><p><\/p>\n<li><strong>Should we be worried about robots integrating into society and taking our jobs?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, this is an actual risk.
