I worked in an automated warehouse that was so ineffecient they closed it down and have workers on trucks doing their job now.
They had these robots that would cart around skids that were like massive versions of the robots we use in FIRST (3500 lb monsters) but they had cost more to maintain per year than they did to purchase( I remember the day one of them actually caught on fire from their wiring). If one thing wasn't breaking down one minute in that place it was something else.
Until they can develope a true version of artificial intellegence I am not worried about robots replacing workers in every corner of the workplace.
