This isn't the most exciting video in the world (understatement!), but if you've done much coldworking I'm sure that you'll appreciate this:

On a side note, I just recently discovered Google Videos. Pretty sweet service!

No you got to think in terms like the japanise. A Robot can be your best work partner and help you do your job better then before.
its a tool like any other. and they still need someone to tell them what to do and to keep then in good working order. In japan you don't get replaced by a robo you get re trained to work the robot and it is more like a work partner.
A lot of workers in japan take time out of there non working time to clean and take care of there robot buddies. Off the clock even.

Ya I hear ya there. Maybe thow down some kitty litter for it if it springs a leak. But I draw the line at eating lunch with my robot. But as far as giving it an erotic oil rub down its got about the same chance of that happing as if a co worker in some factory somewhere. AIN'T going to happen.
inless it was a chick robot and a hot one. and I don't think they come in that model.

Ed skeels has made a few robots, has one that cuts that bottoms off of lamp shades.

Make's decent, inexpensive basic pipes and puntys if you're into off hand work.

have you ever seen the assembly lines that blow lightbulbs? Its quite incredable how fast and perfect they do them. ive always wondered why they havent made the same sort of thing for production type spoons....lets hope they dont anytime soon lol

I was in a ball glass plant about twenty years ago. They had a continuous furnace up by the roof maybe 40 feet up that dropped small blobs of molten glass down into a funnel. that got split in three pieces and they fell into another funnel which split that again in three. then they plopped into a steel box which was a mold for juice bottles. the molds popped open and all nine bottles slid onto a convyor belt into a continuous annealer for a day or two. Other then defective pieces, which were not common, no person ever touch or manipulated the glass, it was all machines.
