      They are not harmful for earth rather they help human beings for producing more things in industries and many other places.

      Robots are very helpful to our day to day lives, like supporting surgeons doing complex procedures to lifting heavy things for building cars.

      We use robots for lots of purposes, including very repetitive tasks, especially in manufacturing industries. Right now they are useful and not a particular threat, although with the emergence of AI, some researchers suggest that computers will have the same computational capacity as the human brain by 2050. There is a lot of anxiety about what will happen at that point. I guess we are best off not depending on technology so much.
