About 80% of them have already.
For instance if we made cars without robots it would take 10X the manpower to produce what we now produce.
.
Actually, it's people who build the robots since not enough are being made to create an assembly line. It's people who make the precision parts the robots are made from. People who design the robots. People who are the technicians to maintain the robots. People who install and program the robots. People who design the parts the robots make.
All that takes "education". Something Republicans "mock". Odd that.
And of all that only the maintenance and perhaps the engineering is generally US provided.
As far as the workers maintaining and manufacturing the robots. A tech education is a must, but almost equally as important is experience. I did that type of work for a few years.
It's the manufacturing too. I have a friend who runs a machine shop. Their biggest money maker, railroad ties, was moved to Mexico. So they revamped their business to make high quality machined parts.
These are parts used in everything from the "medical industry" to "specialized tiny mechanisms". Stuff that are made in the hundreds or few thousand at the most. They even make stuff for the military or NASA.
