Michel Bauwens on 07 May 15"THE ROBOTS HAVEN'T just landed in the workplace-they're expanding skills, moving up the corporate ladder, showing awesome productivity and retention rates, and increasingly shoving aside their human counterparts. One multi-tasker bot, from Momentum Machines, can make (and flip) a gourmet hamburger in 10 seconds and could soon replace an entire McDonalds crew. A manufacturing device from Universal Robots doesn't just solder, paint, screw, glue, and grasp-it builds new parts for itself on the fly when they wear out or bust. And just this week, Google won a patent to start building worker robots with personalities."
