A Factory Planning to Pump Out 10,000 Two-Legged Robots a Year Is Taking Shape

Agility Robotics’ upcoming RoboFab facility in Salem, Oregon, set to mass-produce humanoid robots, signals a worrying trend in automation. With plans to produce 10,000 robots annually, this development underscores concerns about the increasing replacement of human labor in warehouses and other industries. China’s similar ambitions to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025 further highlight a global shift towards automation that could have significant negative implications for employment and job security.
