Zukunft der Arbeit: "Uns braucht es bald nur noch als Konsumenten"

A robot is an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by computer and electronic programming. Over the last three decades automobile factories have become dominated by robots. A typical factory contains hundreds of industrial robots working on fully automated production lines, with one robot for every ten human workers. On an automated production line, a vehicle chassis on a conveyor is welded, glued, painted and finally assembled at a sequence of robot stations.
