Japan has recently recruited a robot volleyball player to help train its national team. Such move somehow affirms to the prediction of some experts concerning intellectual machines taking over key roles in the society.

The Japanese Volleyball Association is stepping up their training as they are now using robotic hands to help out during training. The said instrument consists of three pairs of hands equipped with mobile torsos, according to The Verge.

The main function of the bot is to block shots of their human opponents. By the use of software, its movement may be configured the volleyball coach easily.

The use of bots for practice has allowed Japanese volleyball players to practice their spikes against mixed defensive formations. The variation helps players be more flexible and adjust with actual opponents more easily.

Sports would be the only avenue through bot could be useful. In a study conducted by Oxford University researchers, 47 percent of jobs in the United States could be automated and could employ a robot's help.

Commodity salespeople could be affected by the coming change or bot invasion in the commerce and other major enterprises. Machines are pegged to relieve the cost of any sales process in the future, especially those related to a request for proposal, quotation, order, and fulfilment system, according to Ad Edge.

Report writing is another avenue through which bots could dominate. Machines can be taught to interpret data and patterns, including complex images and videos of any kind. Materials involved in such craft can be easily read and understood by bots, making them an ideal replacement.

Although robots could not fully replace doctors, there are steps being made in order to make them part of the medical industry. They are seen as amazing doctors, doctors, diagnosticians, and surgeons. That is why IBM is teaming up with many US hospitals to help improve the quality of service.
