This raises some important questions? How much should we rely on autonomous robotics to assist human activity? For this task, write a 2-3 page essay (single space font of 12 minimum) explaining your opinion on the implications of autonomous robotics use in our society. To help you with you reasoning I am providing three excellent sources: Source 1: Robotic surgery ethics: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Guglielmo_Tamburrini/publication/260402418_Ethical_Reflectio ns_on_Health_Care_Robotics/links/554bdf670cf21ed2135b7afe.pdf Source 2: Ethical and implications of autonomous robotics (surgery and vehicles) http://verdict.justia.com/2012/11/19/autonomous-cars-and-surgical-robots Source 3: Can robots be better humans that soldiers in a battlefield?
