Abstract
In the world of digitalization and automation, there were astonishing myths coexistent that were not only surprising, but also incredible. Whilst the move is on to usher into the world of automation, where even the manufacturing units are devising the methods to automate their functions, it is only ironic to note that people have also developed several myths on using a robot. For one, robots have been associated with a device that would take away one job. For another, a robot is considered risky as if it will start ruling the very person that made it. Apparently, a research gap exists that needs to be plugged along with the understanding gaps to demystify the use of robots. COVID-19 has brought the world to such a stage where companies are now rethinking about the use of robots. This paper is written to explain the use of robots, clarify the need of robots in the society and present the growing demand of this technology. A research was also conducted to present the availability and state-of-art robot technology. It was also shown in the paper as to how some domains like health care are in dire need of robots, as the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on society.
