Watch: Toyota's Robot Beats Professional Basketball Players, Shoots With 100% Accuracy

Robotic advancements are being seen as a threat to the human aspect of things. Many experts think machines, which are built to be perfect, could one day replace humans in every field and take away all our jobs, but another optimistic group believes they would complement our lives. Though the future is unpredictable, one thing is pretty much clear -- machines are taking some giant leaps in all fields.
