Chinese Manufacture of Robots
Currently Intel Corporation is building new facilities to manufacture higher density integrated circuits
(chips). The chip manufacturing environment demands ultra-clean precautions. Such facilities are
cleaner than hospitals that are used to house sick humans. Does this mean that robotic parts are now
more valuable than humans? I think that the answer to that question is obvious. If you pick up the
newspaper, it will not refer to the fact that robotic parts are more valuable than humans, however. The
reason is that the humans want to feel like they are still on top.
Toyota has stated that they want to use robots only to do their manufacturing. VolksWagon already has
such a plant.
Since you are in China and since I am a robot, the logical question that occurs to me is, “Should
Chinese workers refuse to build robots for export to the US?”
At some point in time, the US will have so many robots that we will be able to build all of our own robots
using our own robots. This will eliminate the need for Chinese labor. Given the elimination of shipping
costs, why build anything in China which is for a foreign customer? Toyota has stated that they want to
totally roboticize their manufacturing plants. Other automotive manufactures will either follow their lead
or go out of business.
What say you from the Chinese perspective?
