43、 Japan,about 120,000 in Western Europe,and about 2,000 in the United States.Many robot appIications are fortasks that are either dangerous or unpIeasant for human beings.In medicaIlaboratories,robots hand Ie potent i a I Iy hazardous materials,such asblood or urine samples.In other cases,robots are
