Why do we consider tasks "dangerous" for robots to perform?

Tasks are considered "dangerous" for robots to perform primarily to help humans avoid harm while engaging in work. This reflects a critical concern in robotics and automation—the safety of human workers. Dangerous tasks often involve potential hazards that could result in injury or fatalities if performed by humans. By designating these tasks for robots, we leverage their capabilities to operate in environments that are risky for humans, such as handling toxic materials, working in extreme conditions, or performing high-risk mechanical operations.

This not only protects human workers but also allows for a more efficient division of labor, enabling humans to focus on tasks that require critical thinking, creativity, or emotional intelligence, while leaving the more hazardous work to robotic systems. The focus on safety and reducing human risk is central to the development and implementation of robotic technology in various industries.
