They are here to teach, not to steal your job

The widely held belief that robots cost jobs is a fallacy, a robotics expert says.

Terry Sy, executive director of China RobotC, the only organization authorized in China to promote what is considered one of the world's premier robotics education systems, says: "Many parents have asked me about the future of robots. I tell them that if they want their children never to face unemployment, let them do something related to robots."

RobotC was developed at the Robotics Academy at Carnegie Mellon University, the global research university, based in Pittsburgh.
