There were more than two million robots working in Chinese factories last year, according to a report released Thursday by the International Federation of Robotics, a nonprofit trade group for makers of industrial robots. Factories in China installed nearly 300,000 new robots last year, more than the rest of the world combined, the report found.
Yeah, I know, robots have been part of industry for decades. But how many of them are preprogrammed arms building a car and how many of them bootlegged Roombas that spin in lazy circles?
