I've been interested in the rapidly widening application of robotics in industry and elsewhere. Robots are replacing workers every place one looks. Robots do complex assemblies. Soon robots will be performing every task imaginable at work. That's a problem for workers who cannot retrain for whatever reason. The jobs for some unskilled workers and some skilled workers are vanishing; especially in manufacturing. The laborer's jobs are disappearing.
There is one new robot application that has not been developed. It would be the worker's personal robot. Each worker would have one of these robots. The personal robot's functions would include getting coffee, stock items, and even teaching the worker how to perform certain tasks. The most important function of the personal robot would be to warn the worker if he is in danger: For example, hazardous materials. The personal robot would remind the worker how to deal with a hazardous material spill. Oh and one more one more important task for the personal robot would be the message 'danger danger. The boss is coming.'
