Looking to the realms of science fiction, robots get a pretty bad rep. Endless examples of robot uprising’s and plots for world domination haven’t assisted the technology’s efforts to be welcomed by humans in the workplace.
According to a report published by Reuters, U.S companies installed more robots than ever before in 2018. Shipments of robotic machinery hit a colossal 28,478 deliveries — that’s a 16% increase compared to the previous year. Deployment increased in almost every sector, including life sciences, food and consumer goods, and semiconductors and electronics.
