So, you telling me you can replace all labor force with Robots and keep the manufacturing cost lowest in the world till eternity. ;lol:
Currently the technology is only cost-effective in certain areas, where there is a lot of repetitive motion involved. And in these areas, it is very effective.
If you have a manufactured product in your hand right now, there is a good chance there was an industrial robot somewhere in the supply chain.
Of course, the technology is only going to continue improving as time goes on. Especially in terms of cost-efficiency.
So when India is done building their national manufacturing base (it took us 40 years), who knows how effective these industrial robots are going to be. Certainly they will replace human labor in a large number of areas, they already do today.
China is not going to miss that train. Today, right now, China is already the largest market in the world for industrial robots.
