Increasingly robots help maintain the structural health and integrity of our buildings and infrastructure, inspecting and repairing bridges, dams, skyscrapers, you name it, in order to keep people safe and make the world more efficient.
Robotics fills needs where human labor is dangerous, hard to come by, or expensive, and in many ways, this is making the world safer for all of us. Through their ability to go where humans cannot and manage predictive maintenance , robots are giving humans hope for a better, safer tomorrow.
Many things are taking place:
Can Robots Save Us From Loneliness? | Grazia Middle East
We'd say it's safe to assume that, with the exception of the few, say, symbiotic lovebirds or persistent sociopaths (just kidding), everybody is profoundly aware of loneliness - probably more than they'd like to be. After all, loneliness is now considered a modern-day pandemic (like we needed another one).
While public-health experts scramble towards a solution to the problem of loneliness on a larger scale, scientists believe they've figured out how to help us stay sane in the meantime. One word: robots.

What Robots Need to Succeed: Machine-Learning to Teach Effectively - Robotics Business Review
Machine Learning
Today, the primary man-made assistants helping humans with their work are decreasingly likely to take the form of an assembly line of robot limbs or the robotic butlers first dreamed up during the era of the Space Race. Three quarters of a century later, it is robotic minds, and not necessarily bodies, that are in demand within nearly every sector of business. But humans can only teach artificial intelligence so much – or at least at so great a scale.
Today Deep Learning is finally experiencing its star turn, driven by the explosive potential of Deep Neural Network algorithms and hardware advancements.

'Twilight Zone' of dining: Robots are coming to a restaurant near you - SFChronicle.com
With every compostable bowl that Sally the salad-making robot fills with chicken and romaine lettuce, the Bay Area food scene inches closer to the singularity: the widespread integration of dining with high-end technology. The robot, created by the Hayward company Chowbotics, can mix dozens of salad combinations in moments. All a customer has to do is tap a couple of times on a touchscreen, which shows a digital rendering of their order.
And in the dystopian fallout of San Francisco’s pandemic food scene, wherein diners shuffle between empty storefronts and takeout windows while completely avoiding contact with strangers, culinary technology has become as ubiquitous as $10 avocado toast was in the pre-COVID salad days.

These ladies have some adorable new friends thanks to Alabama's Robotic Pet Project. May Lambert and Jean Reddish were recipients of two of the state's special robot pets — a perfect solution to the isolation many seniors are facing right now because of social distancing measures and the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Crystal Crim, the Administrative Director for The Middle Alabama Area Agency on Aging, the robots provide the benefits of a real pet, "without the physical challenges of having to feed, pick up after, take care of an animal in a traditional sense."
