The whole Idea of robots is to cut labor and you only need so many hopper loaders.
Shoveler: My argument is that the automation of manufacturing, etc has already happened. It’s just done by bio-robots in China and call-center employees in India.
Replace the bio-robots with actual robots in the US at a similar manufacturing + shipping cost, and manufacturing could actually come back to US shores en masse. It would be cleaner, safer, better quality, and most importantly, employ Americans at high productivity levels.[/quote]
Yep, Just a lot less people needed to get the same work done. (maybe 1 of 10, or 1 of 20).
this Automation thing is still just getting started. (just took it’s first baby steps, you have not seen anything yet).
