As the technology develops faster, more and more various categories ofrobots are taken into applying through different fields.According to the data from International Federation of Robotics, robotic sale rises dramatically every year except 2009 when Tsunami seriouslyoccurred in Japan whichinfluenced the economy (Chen&Dong 2013).The term autonomous robots can be defined as robots that perform behaviors or tasks with a high degree of autonomy, which are particularly desirable in fields such as space exploration, housing services, water pollution treatment and transferring goods or services. There is no doubt that these robots would actually bring benefits to the economy and influence the world deeply. However, on the other hand, an argument

According to Archive Website, as robots have become more advanced and sophisticated, the serious questions is about what ethics might govern robots' behavior and whether robots might be able to claim any kind of social, cultural, ethical or legal rights (Buchanan2002).Likewise, another main effect of using robots is unemployment which means the loss of jobs caused by technological changes. More human workers are replaced by robots, which mean more workers will lose their jobs and do not have source of income. Refer to the report published in New Xinhua, a recent example is Taipeitechnology company Foxconn which announced in July 2011 with a three-year plan to replace worker with more robots (Yan2011). Until the end of 2011, Foxconn had ten thousand robots but it said that it will continue increasing the number instead of humans. Refer to Nisen’s research, 7 million employments in business and financial areas will be occupied by autonomous robots (2013). Subsequently, long term unemployment will lead to less innovation and output, and even causesrecession in the economic cycle because of the low level of income. Using robots could be more flexible and fewer mistakes may occur without feeling tired. Correspondingly, human workers sometimes feel tired and bored because of the repetitive and hard tasks. However, if more and more companieskeep developing the use of
