Why do modern factories use robots for certain jobs instead of humans? From welding and painting to lifting heavy parts and performing thousands of identical movements, robots have become an important part of modern manufacturing. But the reason isn't simply about replacing human workers. Robots are especially useful for jobs that are repetitive, dangerous, physically demanding, or require extremely consistent movements.
