- dahauns 10y agoSorry to burst that bubble - that couldn't be further from the truth, especially when it comes to high-tech automation, i.e. industrial robotics. Japan is still THE undisputed powerhouse in this field (Yasakawa, Kawasaki, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Epson...), with the EU a distant second (ABB, KUKA, Stäubli, Comau...) and China rising quickly (e.g Siasun, Foxconn).
- jfoutz 10y agoFair enough. I was thinking Emerson, ge, Rockwell and the like. More industrial processes kinds of things, but thanks for the clarification.
