What are the Disadvantages of using robots

-  They can find it difficult to deal with 'unusual' circumstances for example a door is missing from a car waiting on the paint spraying line

-  tend to reduce labour requirements (thus causing unemployment)

-  As robots take over many of the tasks done by humans de-skilling is a real risk

-  Work can be done anywhere, hence factories can be moved to anywhere in the world (again a cause for unemployment risks).
