Abstract

In this paper, the author analyzes the historical background of robotics as an independent branch of scientific and technical knowledge and discusses the philosophical aspects of its presence in the life of a man. The author tries to show the ambiguity of the use of "mechanical people" by modern societies. The author made a number of assumptions about the futurological perspectives of the development of robotics. Both the negative side of humanizing the machine and its humane use in the form of android robots in medicine and emergency situations are considered.
