why is this so difficult for you to imagine?
i mean, i'm pretty sure i know why, but ask yourself.
- ribosometronome 9y agoI don't think they're trying to be racist against robots but wondering why Chongqing Future Robot Co Inc wouldn't put a shoebot in Phoenix to reduce the amount of shipping the shoe requires.
- BurningFrog 9y agoThe point of the article is that humans aren't making shoes anymore. So who has the best human expertise is irrelevant. The fully automated shoemaking machine could be placed anywhere the raw materials could be shipped.
- taway20171214 9y ago> So who has the best human expertise is irrelevant. i agree, there's no way on earth any chinese firm could have the best shoe-making robot plant in 20 years. we all know chinese people aren't smart enough for that.
