When it comes to the United States which ranks 3rd on our list of countries that produce the most robots in the world, you’d expect bigger numbers when it comes to industrial robots, but numbers indicate that in 2012, there were only 168,623 such operational robot units deployed here. On the other hand, the value worth of the exports in this domain has reached $180.1 million in 2015.
Many factories across the United States have crossed over to industrial robots, trying to produce more in less time. While factories are working at full speed, many people have lost their jobs. Some have lost their workplace due to budget cuts, while others have done this because one of these robots has taken over the position they previously held. In fact, some 85 percent of job losses has happened due to these machines replacing human workers.
