IRobot Roomba(룸바)로 청소만 시켜도 가정의 청소가 엄청 쉬워지는데, 사람이 하는 이상적인 일을 로봇이 급속도로 대체해나가는 것은 기정사실이지요. 가정보다는 비용에 민감한 공장같은 곳은 이미 많이 변하고 있고 앞으로도 더 변하겠지요.

한국이 Robot Density가 제일 높네요. 노동다 10,000명당 437대나 됩니다. 앞으로 1000대를 후쩍넘기면서 빠르게 노동직업을 대체해 나가겠지요. 빨리 많은 인원들이 하이텍쪽으로 옮겨져야 할텐데, 그렇지 않아서 답답하네요. 아직까지 땅이나 파서 경기를 띄우려고 삽질해대고.

A new generation of robots is on the way—smarter, more mobile, more collaborative and more adaptable. They promise to bring major changes to the factory floor, as well as potentially to the global competitive landscape.

Robots deployed in manufacturing today tend to be large, dangerous to anyone who strays too close to their whirling arms, and limited to one task, like welding, painting or hoisting heavy parts.

The latest models entering factories and being developed in labs are a different breed. They can work alongside humans without endangering them and help assemble all sorts of objects, as large as aircraft engines and as small and delicate as smartphones. Soon, some should be easy enough to program and deploy that they no longer will need expert overseers.
