Robots will take your job if you don’t be careful.
Here is a robot that, strips surfaces, sand blasts, and paints with minimal human input. You’ll either learn how to program/maintain the robots or be unemployed.
I'd not really count that as a "robot", because it still needs people to set it up, re-charge it, etc. It's just a grit-blasting and paint-spraying machine no more a robotic than an excavator or even an CNC lathe.
In a case like this the machine replaces very unpleasant, hazardous and monotonous manual labour, but those painters would likely still be needed for work this machine cannot easily perform.
@AngelUnforgiven I think part of the reason they keep threatening that robots will take over jobs is this -
- It scares people who, for God knows what reason, enjoy their jobs, AND - It gives false hope to people who want out of their jobs but do not want to leave voluntarily.
Of course that happens in a lot of situations, try to scare the people who give a sh*t, and give false hope to people who do not.
