Lesson 3.2.4 Year 3
As It Is… ” American Companies Rent Robots to Small Factories”.
Technology is increasing rapidly day by day. Every second day, we find a new interesting and useful invention, Robot machine is one of them. A robot is type of automated and programmable machine, that can complete a task controlled by humans. Due to rising wages, big American companies are selling robots, but small factories are not interesting to buy them. There is a plan for small factories that they could pay to use a robote,when they want its service without owning the device. The biggest financer of the year’s tech company, Tiger Global, has invested in three robot companies in seven months, Polar Hardware Manufacturing, a 105-year-old factory in Chicago paid less than$10 an hour for a robot.
” If the robot works real well, we will use it a lot,” said Albert, who was pleased with the earl result”.
Dear teacher,
American companies rent robots to small factories
Better technology and rising wages are leading an increase in sales of robots to big companies all across America but smaller factories have shown less interest in the devices robots are costly purchases.
Now , some investors are supporting a financial plan for a robot pay by plan but they would not own the device.
Garry says he sees three important social and economy changes taking place now , he said cost and better robot computer vision and other intelligence technology growing more available and financing is available low interest rates with plane puts much of the financial demand on new companies that carry risk of manufacture losing business deal or changing a product . Smaller factories often produce smaller amounts of special products that do not need robotic support. And Silicon Valley Robotics, an industry group supporting robot startups but it has financial problems.
Thank you.
