Abstract
Robotics significantly impacts the way we live and work nowadays. It will positively and negatively disrupt every sector of our society, economy, and the industry. Robotics will definitely transform lives, work practices, raise efficiency and safety levels, improve the quality of service, and create new jobs. Its impact will grow over time as well as the interaction between robots and human beings. However, the adoption of technology has also disadvantages to the workforce as human resources are needed to be trained for this new industrial capability. With these, the government need to provide initiatives to combat the negative effect of robotics.
