I disagree with much of this article. Robotics could be utilized to make many things. However, what makes the author think those robotics will be placed in factoies here in the USA? We still have government overregulation and overtaxation.
Those robots will probably find a home in many other countries, churning out goods that we in the USA will keep buying - if our economy hasn’t completely crashed.
We won’t solve our problems with robots. Remember when our politicians thought making CFL light bulbs would save us - only to see them manufactured in China? Same with solar panels, we’re being undercut by overseas makers. The problem is with our politicians. Get rid of them.
Industrial robots and robotic automation systems are already being used widely to increase American manufacturing productivity.
Just look at how CPUs are made for example.
