Factories are the workplaces of our National Socialist racial comrades.
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
Only in a minority of cases will workmen be able to recognize the technological change responsible for their dismissal. For this it would be necessary that machines be introduced in an existent plant under the eyes of the workmen and that dismissal be effected immediately after.
The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
For the blue-collar worker, the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. For the office worker, it's office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems, groupware, intranets, extranets, expert systems, the Web, and e-commerce.
R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)
This was the title of a science fiction play he wote in 1920. In it he coined the term "robot"
The factory that my grandmother had put under the house to produce these green men to come get me.
If you take a frozen box and stick it in the microwave, you become connected to the factory. We've forgotten who we are.
In 2008, I decided I wanted to begin a new venture, so I started Rethink Robotics. We build factory robots that a person can learn to train in just a few minutes. In May 2011, I stepped off the iRobot board.
We're not going to see an exclusively robotic factory, but we will see the optimum use of robots and people.
A robot-arm in a factory doesn't decide minute by minute whether to rivet or revolt - it just does the job is has literally been trained to do. It's if and when we build a conscious robot that we may have to worry.
