robots are superior to astronauts
The lecturer refutes all three arguments presented in the reading passage about, use of robots in space explorations. The reading claims that the robots are superior to human astronauts as they are more productive, efficient in a dangerous environment, and are well suited for repeated works. However, the professor challenges all the arguments and presented a counter-argument for each of the assertions.
To begin with, the professor contradicts the claim that robots are productive as robots presumably work faster because they never get tired. He states that, during the voyage to Mars, the main investigator Steve Squares argues that a human astronaut can do things much faster than a robot in less than a minute. Besides that, a robot still needs instructions and controls by engineers and technicians on Earth. So we cannot say that they are productive.
Secondly, the reading suggests that robots can be sent to work in a dangerous environment as they don't get injured. The tutor, on the contrary, says that any broken part or injury for the robotic machine can lead to malfunctioning and it may stop working. He adds that, although robots need no food or water, they need a power supply and maintenance for it's well functioning. Therefore any scarcity of these basic needs is detrimental for the robot. Moreover, exposure to high heat can burn out the metal parts of a robot and can destroy it.
Finally, the passage posits that robots are well suited for repetitive works that do not require superior intelligence. The professor denies this by contending that robots cannot suggest creative solutions to problems like humans as they are machines. Any minor errors in the coding of robots will eventually cause the repetition of errors that needs a human technician to solve them. As a result, complex missions to space definitely needs human astronauts rather than a robot.
