Robots in China and the U.S.

These are some articles that I found a few years ago and blogged about some of them. Here is the original blog article if you want also:20,000 dollar plus robots changing the world as we...

I found it amazing that so many relatively inexpensive robots are being used in the U.S. and China and likely Japan too. For example, if you have a 20,000 to 25,000 dollar robot in your garage or company it can be worked 24 hours a day for about 3 years time which is more cost efficient than hiring 3 people to do this. However, after about 3 years you likely will have to scrap the robot if you have worked it 24 hours a day. Also, you can show physically one of these robots what you want it to repeat doing thousands or hundreds of thousands of times and it will do it non-stop 24 hours a day until you show it how to do something else you you turn it off with a switch. So, you don't have to program it you just have to show it physically what you want it to do.
