Robots to help us make our own furniture
Robots are at many places of our lives and jobs, they have replaced many people to work. The latest occupation will be replaced by robots is carpentry. Researchers said they had created a robot called AutoSaw, which can sawing and assembling woods instead of carpenters. But researchers didn’t think that robot will make carpenters losing their job, they said the AutoSaw just doing danger work and reduce the risk to lose fingers of carpenters. Besides, carpenters can have more time to focus on designing. Through that technology, people also can make self design furniture instead of buy the mass-produced one from giant home-furnishing stores like IKEA. That’s a great create and it makes everyone can be a carpenter.

Robots about to help us make our own furniture
Robots are  about to influence  many aspects of our lives and jobs, they have replaced many working people. The latest occupation  in which humans will be replaced by robots is carpentry. Researchers said that they had created a robot called AutoSaw, which can saw and assemble woods parts of a  furniture instead of carpenters. But researchers didn’t think at first that the robot will make carpenters redundant, they said the AutoSaw  will just be doing dangerous work and reduce the risk of carpenters losing their fingers. Besides, carpenters can have more time to focus on designing (design). Through that technology, people also can make self designed furniture instead of buying the mass-produced one from giant home-furnishing stores like IKEA. That’s a great creation/invention and it turns everyone into a carpenter.
