      while the term ‘slave’ is perhaps incorrect here ( a slave is typically forced against their will to do something, a robot has no will…a very important difference!) in most ways, they already are…. we use robots to build and manufacture things (cars, electronics) , store and transport things (automated forklifts in warehouses), and travel and explore things (Alvin, the deep sea probe, the mars rover) we even have a robot here at the British Geological Survey, it is used to take measurements of electrical potentials in rock samples
