The 20th century was defined by engineering. Mass production of consumer goods, atomic energy, and the development of computer data processing built the world we know today.
In the 21st century, three technologies will define the future: controlled nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, and a specific class of robot: humanoid, general purpose, electrically actuated robots that operate without code, and function the way humans do.
The impact of these technologies is impossible to predict with certainty, but the latter two innovations, AI and humanoid robotics, will change the nature of work in ways that current makers of industrial SCARA robots can’t imagine.
