I work in robotics automation. The industry is poised for massive improvements in orchestration efficiency. Robotics currently does not take advantage of several known and trusted technologies. That alone will be huge. If we count the automation of driving jobs and efficiency improvements due to machine learning, I’d say the number is low.

What are these known and trusted technologies ?

  Feedback for one, many industrial robots operate entirely open-loop. It was invented in 1927, so robotics has some catching up to do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-feedback_amplifier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-feedback_amplifier

    Can you elaborate? I'm not seeing the connection.

      Robotics could be much more efficient, require less maintenance and cause less havoc when malfunctioning. That alone reduces the amount of jobs required by a fair bit

        What does this have to do with robots running "open loop?"
