Robotification: The process by which tasks normally performed by humans are replaced with machines of some kind. These machines could be mechanical or electronic. Past tense:robotified.

You might think robotification is something that will happen in the future. Nope. It's already started. Scholars might debate the exact beginning of the robotification of Earth, but we should all agree that it has already started. Just take a moment and look around you. How many things do you interact with that were once done by humans but are now performed by machines?

Here are some examples.

The ATM – which stands for Automated Teller Machine. Do not call it an ATM machine – that's redundant.

Robot arms in car factories. Yes. This is what most people think of when they hear "robot". Actually, these are pretty dumb as far as robots go.

Google self driving cars – well, any self driving car. It doesn't have to be made by Google.
