When it costs you the same amount of manufacturing effort to make advanced robotic parts as it does to manufacture a paperweight, that really changes things in a profound way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Building robot versions of people is very expensive.
The benefits of having robots could vastly outweigh the problems.
3D printing will massively reduce the cost of certain products as the cost of labor is removed.
The way that the robotics market is going to grow, at least in the home, is that we'll have a number of different special purpose robots.
If you look at it from just a pure economic basis, technology is replacing all of the jobs robots can do, and machinery is replacing the jobs that humans once held. If we don't train our children to imagine, to create, they're going to be unemployable.
What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
Hollywood likes to imagine robots as mechanical copies of ourselves - which is a terrible idea.
Technology and robotics are advancing and will reduce the need for workers in the future.
The reason it has taken so long for the robotics industry to move forward is because people keep trying to make something that is cool but difficult to achieve rather than trying to find solutions to actual human problems. Technology can be extremely expensive if you don't focus.
Technological innovation has dramatically lowered the cost of computing, making it possible for large numbers of consumers to own powerful new technologies at reasonably low prices.
