    Yeah robotics in factory work really is killing their jobs. I recently was involved in installing paint robotics in a Volvo truck factory that put about 40 people out of those jobs. I didn't and don't agree with it but it was my job as an electrical contractor to "give the customer what they want". That's a small number but that's just 1 of the 5 projects in the past 5 years just at that facility.

    To beat it all the paint usage went from gallons to pints but the robots leave flaws that humans didn't.
