Lean is already widely accepted in health care but the implementation has a long ways to go. There is already some rare robotic surgery too. But as you all have seen, something as simple as automating health care records to reduce redundancy, wasted motion, and communication errors, has proven to be a monumental task. Healthcare is just so large and corrupt, even the best 4 wheel drive pickup gets stuck in the mud. :)
I'm happy that people won't have to slave away in factories anymore. Even with 8 hour work days and benefits, being an assembly line worker is demeaning. Ford was the most ethical. Indonesian manufacturing is the least. Its a system that should go.
Factory and industrial automation has always been a developing concept. What about automation in other industries? Healthcare, for example? How can we apply these same concepts to other areas?
FYI to those involved in deep discusion here: "The health care and social assistance sector will account for almost a third of the projected job growth from 2012 to 2022. Employment in the construction sector is expected to see a large increase, while still not reaching prerecession levels. Manufacturing is projected to experience a slight decline in employment over the projection period. "[source: bls.gov]
Thank you for your kind opinion Fishin dudas. :) Just a note, when I say get more education, am not saying everyone will get a degree, it may just be OJT. If you don't know what OJT is, Google it. People who were displaced telegraph operators and had to be re-educated to become phone operators didn't have to get a degree to switch, just OJT. To assume when someone said 'get educated'... means getting a degree, now that is as you put it Fishin, 'stupid'. :)
As an Industrial technician that earns his living on today's PLC and Robotics, I can see an average factory worker doing my path configurations and forgetting what LOTO was for...oh boy. Now I'm going to have to start looking for a different industry to get into. I can see they are all at risk. I'm going on a government subsidized program now to avoid failure later.
There's a new Foundry going up in our area and everybody thinks it's going to create hundreds of jobs, but like I tell everybody don't count on it . The new Foundry is supposed to be fully automated lines .
Great job on the video guys. I remember my first involvement in a 'lights out' factory. It was so exciting! Now technology like Baxter has come so much further since my experience 15 years ago. Baxter could feed the guard dog too. lol
True, not everyone will retrain to repair and design automation. But throughout evolution of man, everyone displaced retrained for some other occupation or just switched. blacksmiths, street lamp lighters, telegraph operators, milkmen, telephone operators, typist, elevator operators, Sewing Machine Operators etc. Yes thousands, no the majority didn't go hungry. Others to be displaced due to tech in future, in thousands... postal service workers. Some day department stores and gas stations.
Baxter is simply a foot in the door for the company that makes it. I agree, many of the 'bot's features are unnecessary in an industrial setting, and the method of programming through manual manipulation of the arms is not new by any stretch. But the simplified programming through touchscreen and the cute anthropomorphization make for good press, and that might be enough to get past clueless management and into start-ups.
I don't understand why some people would rather enslave a human to do some repetitive mindless task just so they can have a "job". And robots drive down the overall cost allowing more people to afford those products.
LumberOne How about an ASI (robot) performing Neurosurgery better than any human? No 'job' aka career will be secure. Imagine _beings_ with an average IQ a thousand times smarter than even Einstein. What's your place in the world in about 30 years?
as long as some selected people can earn a lot of money on automation its a hard nut to crack to let workers go home because the factory is more efficient. And when the factory is 100 % automated people are more likely to loos their jobs instead of getting time of. Not many owners are willing to give a way a opportunity of a life time to earn a shit load of dollares. I put my bet on OSE and RBE, and open source movements in general
Automation has brought us a great increase in quality of life over the last 100 years and will continue to do so in the future. The problem of unemployment in the west is the fault of our Governments who allowed an unlimited amount of cheap imports from third world countries to replace out own production.
Someone will have to be skilled in Building repairing and programming these machines that will completely displace the unskilled laborer. Luckily for me I am going to school to learn these skill. C++ programming language, embedded systems programming, computer networking, and CAD will be needed to maintain this infrastructure. Those who don't have these skill will be out of a job. Even farming and other jobs will be automated. I have heard that even trash and recycle pickup will be replaced by robot collection trucks.
+Terrance Kenallen Not really. We already have machines and robots making other parts and machines. Also, self-maintenance isn't a problem, considering that the main reason behind any technology breaking down is deliberate planned obsolescence. Namely, we can design things that do not break down or require maintenance. Making technology from say metamaterials (which are synthetic materials that we can produce in sustainable abundance) would give tech the ability to repair itself should problems arise. But it also depends on how you design any given technology. Eliminate moving parts by replacing them with say magnet based technology, and you eliminate majority of issues. But as I said, you can design systems with self-lubrication, self-maintenance, etc. when its needed. Our current system demands planned obsolescence because it keeps people in business. However, companies are deliberately moving away from this and industrial grade technology virtually ALWAYS lasts far longer than consumer grade technology. In short... there is no job that cannot be automated. Actually, deep learning, etc. can already replace everyone and everything... The majority of the global workforce works in jobs that are highly specialized or repetitive - computers and machines surpassed Humans in both fields over a decade ago. Now it's just a matter of time until cost efficiency catches up to technology. Nothing more, nothing less.
deksman We have not even come close to reaching the peak of what humans will demand from technology. You speak as if we are near or at the end of technological progress. The continuing advancement in technology will drive human jobs. They just wont be unskilled labor jobs. Engineers will become more like creative artists in how they will develop technology to meet human demand. Take for example, synthetic human androids. There is a huge demand for a human like android to cook, clean, and provide sexual services (excuse the explicitness) to humans on demand. This technology is just at the beginning of development. The emergence of quantum computing and advanced sensors, and robotics will keep the employment of engineers on solid footing.
+Terrance Kenallen I did not suggest that we are near or are at the end of technological progress. All I stated was that machines and computers can easily SURPASS Humans in what we can do. Creativity is nothing more than putting random bits together into something 'sensible'. That's basically how the Human brain works... and its really nothing special. We get exposed to so many things throughout our lives and there are these little bits and pieces we then try to piece together from seemingly random sources in an attempt to come up with something 'original' or 'innovative'. However, computers can already do this, and they are hundreds of thousands of times faster and better than Humans, since they have total recall, and vast databases to work with (and infinitely more information at their disposal than any Human does). Point is, in Capitalism, it is desirable to implement as much automation as possible since it drives down operational costs of a company and increases production and profits. The reason I was mentioning this was to illustrate that we have long surpassed the outdated concept of 'working for a living'. I think its time Humans dedicate themselves to 'higher things' and we eliminate the need to work for the sake of working. We can easily contribute in many other ways, and in a far higher capacity without any of the 'pressures' that a competitive system like the present one creates. This is what is needed... to dissolve Capitalism completely during a transitional period into something else, something such as resource based economy.
deksman Capitalism is not going away any time soon. It may be evolving but human desire for wealth, power, and status will drive human motivation. No body is going to produce anything for free. If they do they will create it for themselves and if forced to provide it without compensation they will not create anything at all. Computers can not read human minds and don't know what we want unless we program them. Only a human will know best what a human wants so Engineers well create new adaptations to the demand and will require compensation in wealth, recognition, or status, or they wont do it at all unless you hold a gun to their head and then you would have Stalinist style communism.
deksman To add to this. I would suggest we NOT go exclusively to a resource based economy. The United States has owed much of its success to an innovative economic system. Yes the U.S. has many resources but it would be a mistake to become dependent on them alone. Take a look at Venezuela, or Russia. These are countries that are dependent on oil exports almost exclusively to keep their economies solvent. Yes, when oil is expensive Russia, and Venezuela do well. But when oil is cheap as in right now, they suffer. You need more than resources to make an economy valuable.
My Uncle Sill (mechanical engineer) worked for Ford in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. He's dead now, but I got to ask him who manufactured their robots. He said Ford did it themselves. Pause.. who is most capable of improving factory robotics?
Once everything essencial is automated like food, water, shelter, energy, ect, Then the need to work to survive is a thing of the past and money would soon become worthless. The economly would reverse from a profit drivin to an effeciency drivin and for the well being of mankind. Everyone would become potentialy wealthier as we expand how much space and resources we utilize. And as we move out into space, it will only grow exponentially.
As these technologies develop, there will be less and less need for human labor. What I'd like to see coupled with increased automation is a basic income for all, so that people who lose their job will still be able to live a decent life.
+antidecline I agree that there must be some kind of recognition and remedy for the fact that people are being rendered worthless in a society that measures human value based primarily on productivity. I suppose the only way to benefit under the current system is to invest in companies by buying shares, however this is prone to manipulation and can result in devastating losses to a small-time investor. Humanity has gotten itself into a pickle.
For the people complaining that robots take jobs-- Yes they do but they don't have to take breaks, never call in sick, and don't complain. Way more productive than any human worker. If you don't want your job replaced by a robot, do like I did and become the person that teaches and repairs them. All it takes is a 2 year degree in Electronics. The pay is great also I make around 70k a year.
Max Emmer I have an associate degree in Industrial Electronics and another in Electrical Technology from Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa Alabama
Leo Zaza He said that “since the 18th century there has been much progress” He went on to say “factories that looked like this....” they never indicated that the picture was of the 18th century , only that since the 18th century, humans were used for the purpose of manufacture. 😎👍🏼
it is very much possible that with some words I may not explain the situation and you may not understand the reality. the industrialist or other same class of persons are highly attached with money and other power related things only. I also work with a ball plant and recently they started bringing many types of automation in place of human beings. in the list of great disadvantages any automatic system do have zero actual observation which will cost in loss of altimate profit and many more. second is once we fix any kind of automatic system it will run into same order while in any kind of human being there is a possibility because there is the root of this wonderful life in each type of living body. it is other thing that we don't know how to deal with .I want to add that at my work place some type of improvements I have produced which were not possible with people hire with crore of rupees to adopt those automatic system at work place. these are small kind of disadvantages only.
"Maybe one day we'll have factories so automated we can turn the lights off, and just go home." And by home you mean Mom and Dad's basement, right? How else will the men and women who will lose out on work afford to live?
Anyone in the industrial automation world knows Baxter is a complete joke. There are some serious advances happening in the world of automation, mostly sensors becoming smaller and more importantly cheaper. Baxter is a pile of marketing trash, clearly designed by people who have no clue what happens in an manufacturing environment.
You act as if people actually want to work, we work because we are forced Currency is now the slave master of the day, but currency is only necessary if the things we need in life have a price attached to them, which they won't forever.
Actually, to back Carlton Powers comment up, I think a lot of you should watch this - www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-28/robots-could-cost-australian-economy-5-million-jobs-expert-says/5484740
Haha, talk is easy. Fully automatic is good. You need intelligent people to use it. Eventually, you still need people to maintain it. Nothing is Free maintenance.
Yeah but there's going to be 9 billion people who need a job, and only a few people to maintain the automation, which won't be a lot. Then we will make robots that can do that for us. We need to shift out of this "everyone has to work" mentality.
knucklesamidge toyota had a commercial that showed one robot arm repairing a second robot arm ! its already happened....the big wigs don't need you any more.
Yes, no "manufacturing" job for you. There will still be plenty of jobs in other sectors like the service or tourism industries, tourism alone being worth more than a trillion dollars, and the services (or tertiary) sector worth more than 55 trillion. As it has been mentioned already, we'll find a way to cope :)
Tjorvia So with an increasing population & more jobs being lost to automation then everyone will turn to the tourist industry which will become saturated. Who is going to have the money to travel?
Seymore Skinner While I obviously cannot predict which jobs will provide the most employment over the next few decades to compensate for automation, I did not mean that everyone will rush to become employed in the tourism industry, that was merely an example of one potential direction some people could go. Even with a "lights out" manufacturing industry, there would still be people needed for repairs when the machines break down, or to build the factories, etc., it's just the amount of people working in that industry would be a fraction of what it is today. Besides, we don't *need* a lot of money to live, companies and governments just tend to get super greedy selling their products and collecting taxes and so forth
I know you only meant it as an example but the problem will be only a tiny fraction of the population needed for maintenance etc. Our planet's population is increasing which makes matters worse. Self driving cars will destroy millions of truck drivers, taxis etc. How much money we would need to live depends on what country you live in.
agriculture, IT, energy, water, finance, entertainment, construction, medical & pharmaceutical, police/fire department, R&D, insurance, and small businesses. I personally don't see these industries -and more- becoming automated or automated enough to negate human interaction anytime soon, so there's some other industries people could migrate to and earn a respectable living Also, you're right about the "living depends on location," however I know how to live (not survive) off $12k/yr on Canada's west coast without religiously cutting coupons, people just need to look at methods other than what we are being told are the "only" methods
please be more brief Sir... We here are engineers... not a normal peoples... you made videos only for normal peoples who dont have any interest in engg stuff. but we do... Show more tech brief... non engineers will also take interest
Nes Hirst-Ashuach wrong most technology come from governments not private capital the computer came from government internet came from government micro Chip came from government early robots came government technology for driverless car came from government capitalism being created damn thing it just sells it for profit five of the six major features in iPhone came from government
While its true that a lot of original major products came from a government you're ignoring the fact that its private companies that have developed them. Its now got to the point where militaries (including the US) buy civilian computer chips because they're more powerful than anything the military can create. Big new inventions carry a level of risk that private companies often wont accept, developing and improving the product is definitely best done by companies as they compete ruthlessly to improve their product and survive against the competition, governments tend to be less efficient in this. The simple fact tis that every country that tried total government control has failed miserably. China is a perfect example of this - they were a poor country with mass starvation, they change to become more capitalist and with 3 decades obesity is a major national issue! Further proof is that the least efficient companies in China (measured by output per input) are the government owned ones, this despite being favoured for major government contracts.
Nes Hirst-Ashuach again you are wrong in China before the Socialist rule before mao most of the Chinese people were illiterate starvation was already widespread under the Western rule industry was almost non-existent under mao China reach near full literacy in 10 years production had doubled starvation levels had receded only through capitalist propaganda do you believe that mao policies killed a lot of people actually his policies save lives by giving people Healthcare in providing more people with food child death had drastically reduced people lives that drastically improve do real research
Mao's policies did kill people. Aside from the actual mass murder of anybody who didn't agree with him in the "cultural revoloution" he also put in place a huge number of failed policies such as his "sky full of stars" idea to increase rice production. It failed so spectacularly that millions of people died. This was because 1 person/group had total control with no oversight, accountability or alternatives. I agree their are some things best run by a government (healthcare, education...) but most things are best run in a competitive and accountable manor - i.e capitalism.

less than 10 views, woo! I'm so special
Google "basic universal income", it is already under trials.
Haha, talk is easy. Fully automatic is good. You need intelligent people to use it. Eventually, you still need people to maintain it. Nothing is Free maintenance.
Yeah but there's going to be 9 billion people who need a job, and only a few people to maintain the automation, which won't be a lot. Then we will make robots that can do that for us. We need to shift out of this "everyone has to work" mentality.
knucklesamidge toyota had a commercial that showed one robot arm repairing a second robot arm ! its already happened....the big wigs don't need you any more.
Yeh.. Go home. No job for you.
Yes, no "manufacturing" job for you. There will still be plenty of jobs in other sectors like the service or tourism industries, tourism alone being worth more than a trillion dollars, and the services (or tertiary) sector worth more than 55 trillion. As it has been mentioned already, we'll find a way to cope :)
Tjorvia So with an increasing population & more jobs being lost to automation then everyone will turn to the tourist industry which will become saturated. Who is going to have the money to travel?
Seymore Skinner While I obviously cannot predict which jobs will provide the most employment over the next few decades to compensate for automation, I did not mean that everyone will rush to become employed in the tourism industry, that was merely an example of one potential direction some people could go. Even with a "lights out" manufacturing industry, there would still be people needed for repairs when the machines break down, or to build the factories, etc., it's just the amount of people working in that industry would be a fraction of what it is today. Besides, we don't *need* a lot of money to live, companies and governments just tend to get super greedy selling their products and collecting taxes and so forth
I know you only meant it as an example but the problem will be only a tiny fraction of the population needed for maintenance etc. Our planet's population is increasing which makes matters worse. Self driving cars will destroy millions of truck drivers, taxis etc. How much money we would need to live depends on what country you live in.
agriculture, IT, energy, water, finance, entertainment, construction, medical & pharmaceutical, police/fire department, R&D, insurance, and small businesses. I personally don't see these industries -and more- becoming automated or automated enough to negate human interaction anytime soon, so there's some other industries people could migrate to and earn a respectable living
Also, you're right about the "living depends on location," however I know how to live (not survive) off $12k/yr on Canada's west coast without religiously cutting coupons, people just need to look at methods other than what we are being told are the "only" methods
*Just hire a china man or indian & pay them peanuts*
Laws should make against automation because automation is biggest danger of 21st century for humanity.
+awa arch u need to explain why....
This woman speaking is not good
please be more brief Sir... We here are engineers... not a normal peoples... you made videos only for normal peoples who dont have any interest in engg stuff. but we do... Show more tech brief... non engineers will also take interest
get rid of capitalism and this will lead to a world of free stuff
Get rid of capitalism and you don't have any of this technology to begin with.
Nes Hirst-Ashuach wrong most technology come from governments not private capital the computer came from government internet came from government micro Chip came from government early robots came government technology for driverless car came from government capitalism being created damn thing it just sells it for profit five of the six major features in iPhone came from government
While its true that a lot of original major products came from a government you're ignoring the fact that its private companies that have developed them. Its now got to the point where militaries (including the US) buy civilian computer chips because they're more powerful than anything the military can create.
Big new inventions carry a level of risk that private companies often wont accept, developing and improving the product is definitely best done by companies as they compete ruthlessly to improve their product and survive against the competition, governments tend to be less efficient in this.
The simple fact tis that every country that tried total government control has failed miserably.
China is a perfect example of this - they were a poor country with mass starvation, they change to become more capitalist and with 3 decades obesity is a major national issue! Further proof is that the least efficient companies in China (measured by output per input) are the government owned ones, this despite being favoured for major government contracts.
Nes Hirst-Ashuach again you are wrong in China before the Socialist rule before mao most of the Chinese people were illiterate starvation was already widespread under the Western rule industry was almost non-existent under mao China reach near full literacy in 10 years production had doubled starvation levels had receded only through capitalist propaganda do you believe that mao policies killed a lot of people actually his policies save lives by giving people Healthcare in providing more people with food child death had drastically reduced people lives that drastically improve do real research
Mao's policies did kill people.
Aside from the actual mass murder of anybody who didn't agree with him in the "cultural revoloution" he also put in place a huge number of failed policies such as his "sky full of stars" idea to increase rice production.
It failed so spectacularly that millions of people died. This was because 1 person/group had total control with no oversight, accountability or alternatives. I agree their are some things best run by a government (healthcare, education...) but most things are best run in a competitive and accountable manor - i.e capitalism.
