Unless they are moving the exact same size objects that are the exact same weight you are fighting a losing battle. Each robot needs at least a 2 man Maint. crew. People been watchin way to much SiFi Crap. Maybe in 50 or 100 years Ok.
>>Each robot needs at least a 2 man Maint. crew.
No way - I think you just made that up.
Amazon has stated they use over 100,000 robots already - do you really think they have 200,000 employees whose job it is to maintain those robots? Seriously doubt it.
A robot like the one shown, once they perfect it, working 24x7x365 can easily replace 4 FT employees 40x4 = 160 hours a week and there are 168 hours in a day) assuming they work at the same pace - my bet is they will work even faster at many tasks.
Even if this robot costs $1Million dollars, it will pay for itself in 5 years or less if employees are making $15/hour (and getting benefits) - raise that wage to $20 or $25, which unions and democrats are trying to do, and the payback is even sooner.
Every time I hear democrats pushing a new min wage bill I think to myself ‘Its time to invest even more money in robotics companies.’
Every push for a high minimum wage is essentially a subsidy to robotics companies.
No. For example, look at this video of robots packing groceries. A warehouse robot like in the top of thread could handle a variety of box sizes and shapes, as long as it's not too heavy for its vacuum arm to pick up.

You’re like 15 years behind on your robot tech. Basically everything you said is 100% bunk.
LOL. Go ahead and make that bet.
10 years tops.
