Assembly lines to feature more robots

Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group, known for assembling Apple's iPhones and iPads, plans to use more robots, with one report saying the company will use one million of them in the next three years, to cope with rising labor costs. 

This and similar developments might actually be good for US, since more and more manufacturing jobs can compete not on the labor price but on robot price.


Target profession: assembly line workers
