For most American’s, particularly those working in the food service and hospitality industries, automation has been very minimal and hasn’t taken peoples jobs away. That is about the change.
Enter the “Service Robots”. This new addition to the world of robot workers is aimed at one thing. Replacing workers. Workers who support their families. Workers are known by another name, “labor costs”, and robots keep labor costs low.
The proof is coming from our neighbors across the Pacific, in China. A great article posted on technode.com by Nicole Jao covered the rise of service robots in China and how orders for new service robots has increased by 44% and is continued to expand by double digits going forward.
American companies in the service industries are ripe to jump on the bandwagon. As more companies enter the robotics manufacturing space, prices will fall and mass implementation will take place. American workers, like their counterparts in Asia and Europe will end up facing extinction in many sectors.
