Even the partnership doesnt yet know what to do with this, as their first yet to be determined milestone is to figure what tasks these robots are doing.I would like to know what the intended use is. Robots are not people. On car mfg lines, because the vehicle is a box, automation is limited. Welding robots are common, of course, but humanoid?
It's thought that advanced use of robotics and automation would require big changes to the line and the box structure.
Interesting, but the article is void of specifics. Cost is everything, but people can be retrained to do many tasks.
It is in South Carolina. There is no union. It is “Right to Work State.” So, robots have right to work.Dont worry the UAW will start a new union... RAW Robot Workers of America....
good for South Carolina....It is in South Carolina. There is no union. It is “Right to Work State.” So, robots have right to work.
Excellent!good for South Carolina....
Not yet anyways.... I heard it on the Interwebs with all that AI stuff!Robots don't spend money and buy products.
Inflation has little to do with it. Automation has been going on forever. Ask Henry about Highland Park...This is a byproduct of inflation and the continued pressure on wage increases. On top of that robots don't call in sick, don't talk back and do what they are told (programmed) to do. It is the future folks, more automation and robots are on the way. Yes humans will still be required but less and less all the time. AI will be a big piece of this transition as well.
Just my $0.02
Given that we don't even know the intended use, it's anyone's guess. But automation will continue to be used for more tasks. Assembly lines and the vehicles themselves will evolve to accommodate automation. They always have.I am interested in the dollar amounts for this. Seems financially stupid to me. How much do those robots cost a piece, $50k? And what would the cost of maintenance be? Seems cheaper to pay someone to do assembly line work.
Btw this reminds of a really old bmw augmented reality vid they said they were introducing in the future. Never heard anything of it after the demo.
or the BMW next generation service centers which were to 3d scan vehicles as they pulled up, so service writers and customers know exactly what needs service.
again another future tech that bmw never implemented.
