Fasterestest by Clinkenbeard Where’s the Robot Renaissance, George? An article in Design News http://bit.ly/4gsXQr made me think. Science fiction shows from the 1960s depict a future world of robots that would complete every portion of manual labor and make speed to market an “ordinary“ pace of doing business.. Does everyone remember George Jetson... at work? When you look around manufacturing facilities today you find some notable exceptions, but you don't see the ubiquitous robot. So why hasn't the science fiction of then become the science reality of today? And more importantly, how can this change in order for American manufacturing to become competitive again, especially in its effort to maximize speed to market?
