we already have them in abundance
Yes we do......
Yesterday I visited a small manufacturer of extremely complex machinery. They export world wide their very special industrial machinery products
There was big change since my last visit. They had moved in a very large CNC machine that was awsome in the complexity of the control panel. They have several smaller CNC machines but they don’t have such an awesome appearance. In the other half of the shop there are the old gray machine shop mills and lathes still putting out the stuff.
But the future is clearly in the computer controlled side. Are they robots. I think so. Once the button is pushed, the machine beavers away until the part is complete.
