Science Fiction Meets Fantasy in Dragons Vs Robots, a New Transmedia Property Announced Today by Massiverse Inc.
Free online game and manga series for children debuts today at www.dragonsvsrobots.com, with feature film and more to come.

More and More Factories are Choosing Robots over Humans
One of the biggest uses of robotics is for performing jobs and operations thought to be too hazardous for people or for jobs that are considered to be highly repetitive. A Robot is defined as a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator with the ability to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various pre-determined motions to perform various jobs and tasks in place of human labor. Robots are very useful in areas that are high in temperature, hazardous in nature, or otherwise inhumane or isolated. Programmed with artificial intelligence algorithms, robots are given the ability for thinking and performing as a human would.
