- throwawaytea 7mo agoYou're thinking of factory welding, manufacturing or maybe repetitive pipeline welding and thinks like that. It'll be a while until a robot disassembles a trailer enough to remove the bent axle, cleans off all the paint and rust, bends the trailer back into shape where needed, cuts a custom support to makeup for some lost strength, welds it in, primers it, paints it, and assembles the trailer. Same for construction too.
- geoffmanning 7mo agoWill it tho? I wonder. We're on the brink of a robotic revolution.
- iamgopal 7mo agoIf automation excels sufficiently, robot will replace bent axle with new one automatically, repair cost will be usually higher than replace cost if all things are automated
- throwawaytea 7mo agoThe axle gets replaced even today. The thing we were welding was the frame.
