The fear of a cobot taking your job is real. But it won’t be the end of the world as we know it if there is a robotic uprising in the workforce. In fact, it could be a good thing.

It might even allow us to retire early, like Tanja Hester, the author of "Work Optional," who we interview in this video.

Instead of completely replacing jobs, think of robots taking on the duties nobody really wants, anyway. Cobots can take on tasks that aren’t well-suited for the human body, like working in assembly lines.

A cobot that’s already helping to meet one of our most basic human needs is the FarmBot, developed by Rory Aronson. It’s helping households grow their own fruits and veggies.

Collaborative robots like these may force us to change our perception of the sort of work we deem worthy of human minds and hands.
