How can a Robot help a Human

The whole purpose behind creating a robot is to help a human being do his chores easily. They are created to help us. However not all the science projects dedicated to robotics deal with helping normal healthy human beings with specialized tasks.

In fact more and more robotics engineers are now designing robots that help old, infirm, or unhealthy people with regular day to day tasks. Things like  going shopping, putting away the groceries, helping a person get from the bedroom to the bathroom, and similar tasks are becoming more and more common.

Why do we need robots to help us in such tasks? Though the human touch of a caregiver is always much better, the common and repetitive tasks can prove quite taxing for the caregiver. This is where a robot helper can become invaluable.

The robot does not tire easily, is able to perform the same task again and again no matter how often you ask it to, without getting bored or complaining about it. This may make them better suited to such tasks than human beings are. Of course the robot can never replace the human caregiver, but as successful science experiments have shown, it can be a major help.
