RE: American Companies Ordered Over 29,000 Robots This Year

Only 29,000 ?
What's the hold up?
And i find it weird that companies are replacing servers, etc with robots.
But, to them it probably seems obvious.
To me, this is just a waste of time and money as society completely transforms.
Why have an office building, when most of what is done is paperwork?
Why have a supermarket when the products are so generic and ubiquitous?
And then, why have a restaurant?
From my view, the service industry is completely gone.
Our grand-children (if we can have them after the VAXXX) will be regaled with tales of the "restaurant" experience.
Why have a delivery driver? And if so, why have a building where things are cooked?
Soon, there will just be a box that travels around and spits out pizzas.
It will make the pizza while on way to deliver, my thing about these robots that replace low wage jobs, is who will be able to afford it without a job 🤷🤔
Exactly.
They are replacing a common job now... that in aggregate, the wages created / paid for.
The whole thing unwinds.
I suspect that they are hung up on the definition of what is a robot.
Is a robotic arm in an assembly plant a robot?
An ATM is a machine that counts money. There's about a half million ATMs.
The self-check out stands at grocery stores perform the manual task of tallying up grocery purchases. I was looking at the paving machine that is resurfacing a local freeway. One machine does most of the tasks associated with laying pavement.
The robotic revolution is happening with things that don't really look like robots.
