Preço dos robots versus preço do trabalho




"WHEN robots first appeared in factories in the 1960s, they could only do the simplest of tasks such as moving objects from one production line to another. Some 30 years later robots were adept at jobs more usually done by semi-skilled workers, such as cutting, welding and operating warehouses. Even better for factory-owners, since 1990 the average price of robots has plunged by as much as 75% in comparison with labour compensation."
