The trend toward robots and computers taking jobs people have held is getting a big push from COVID-19.
A human face behind the counter is traditionally a welcome sight, but now people are warier of close contact with strangers. That opens the door to robots taking orders, flipping burgers, even delivering room service meals.
“This was an issue for germaphobes, and now everybody is going to be a germaphobe. The future started in March,” said Johannes Moenius, a University of Redlands business professor.
Adding some robots can help factories keep up production when they must limit the number of human workers for safety’s sake. Robots can even do now-dangerous hospital jobs such as cleaning rooms and allowing doctors and nurses to communicate remotely with patients to minimize staff exposure.

You losing your job is coming, taken away by AI and robots, how do you like it now slaves??? I guess it is still a conspiracy that you would lose our job to robots in the food industry huh??? Even tho I have been telling you morons for years!!!! But I guess you know better than I with your holiday inn express education!!!
3 out of 4 customers in Food Lion this morning wore their masks below their nose. I am ok with them, their entire family catching the rona and even dying. But I am not ok with morons exposing me to their infection. And for those of you who believe that your rights are being on? Just wait until it become4s Red America, you will do what the commies tell you to do or they will send you to a re-education camp.
Don't forget that machine replacements and foreign workers paid lower wages rather than Americans are a decision made by the CEO's that we provide tax shelters for. It's all about their bottom line, not our country.
The article is just spun for the elites who now own EVERYTHING and have decided humans are no longer needed. Hence the depopulation agenda (COVID BIOWEAPON)
Until someone chokes on a broken off robot part.
Robots don't clean and perform maintenance on themselves... yet.
Robots show up on time don't need breaks to breast pump and don't call out FMLA every other day and could be managed by Boarder Collies .
11:13, you are without a doubt the smartest asshole I have ever read
11:14 - Still drinking the cool-aid I see
Robots use a lot of electricity, but no one wants fossil fuel, nuclear, or windmill produced power and solar is not capable of supplying the country with a reliable source. Sacrifices must be made.
