State-of-the-Art Robotics Applications and Their Effect on Migration.

Robotics is evolving rapidly. Robotics applications are even faster. Robotics is tackling new challenges like never before. Think of anything, and robotics has its imprint in that field. Think of working at home, handling documents in the office, manufacturing, or running a marathon in the park. Robotics is everywhere.

What will happen if we embrace AI and robotics? One thing is sure, it would reduce the number of skilled and unskilled workers the developed world needs from outside their countries. What about the developing world and the underdeveloped world?

Migrations were created because the local population was not enough to produce the work required by development and other needs.

Migration is not just in the USA but also in countries like Germany, which have recently specified a lack of skilled professionals. Likewise, other countries would specify their desire to admit fewer migrants as work gets automated by humanoids, cobots, and manufacturing bots.

As AI and robotics increase, migration needs would decrease. The home population of a country itself seeks work, leaving aside new migration needs.

Are we headed towards a world with robotics? Then migration around the world would decline.

Would robotics take over the remaining jobs, the jobs left by AI, the jobs that an AI mind can’t do?

Would robotics be taxed? Then this would replace migrants’ taxes. So a country wont be in deficit.

What are other applications of robotics?

Would robotics provide care for the needy in the future?

What jobs would remain then?

Who are all the competing players in Robotics?

Robotics can be categorized in the following categories:

1. Industrial Automation. The “Big Four” — FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, and KUKA are the global leaders of industrial robotics. They help humans in mechanical jobs such as welding, manufacturing, and material handling.
2. Humanoid & General-Purpose. Produced by likse of Unitree, Boston Dynamics, Agility Robotics, Figure AI, and Tesla. They look very much like humans physically; each has a face, a chest, two legs, and walks and talks like humans.
3. Collaborative Robots (Cobots). Produced by the likes of Universal Robots and Doosan Robotics. These robots work in collaboration with humans, sharing human space.
4. Robotic cars. These are autonomous cars they too replace jobs such as jobs of drivers and their helpers.

The progress AI has made is enormous; at the same time, robotics has also strengthened in the past few years. A humanoid robot is the most common robot that comes to mind when someone thinks of robotics. However, industrial robots and cobots are no less behind in terms of development.

AI has taken over so many human jobs. What would happen when Tesla plans to launch its robots in a year or so? You all may know Tesla’s aim to launch hundreds of thousands to millions of humanoid robots. The remaining jobs would be taken by robotics, then? There would be no need for migrations then, especially skilled migrations, which would end with AI specialization in adults, while unskilled automation would bring robotics to the forefront anywhere from December 2026 to early 2027, ending or reducing unskilled migrations substantially. Money going to robotics automation can be put to the welfare of the population, such as in free healthcare for all citizens and retirement benefits to all people of a country.

Rich countries would focus on their populations. Providing the salary to each family, taking care of their families, as the government would provide money to each citizen of a country. The people would be taken care of by the government.

What would humans do then? Get care from governments, live in harmony, and more to come.

Developed and underdeveloped nations must take part in this once-in-a-lifetime momentum and know there are developments that can improve their lives as well. Richer countries would donate to funds for underdeveloped countries to come in line with developed nations.

Well, robotics is good, if we think about space exploration, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on humanoid robots that haven’t been widely tested, that would be too early, no?

The number of competitors in each field is huge.

Do we need so many humanoid robots?

Yes, robotics can provide care to the needy, but if it is specially trained for one.

Why not classify humanoid robots in a category?

Categories like the following can specialize humanoid robotics to more precise applications.

• Robots for care
• Robots for home cleaning, grocery, and garden work
• Robots for hospitals
• Robots for the office
• Robots for policing?
• Robotics for space missions.
• Truck driving robots if deemed safe. For long-distance driving, it is not very adjustable to human workers. This can be worked out with robo Trucks or robotic cars if deemed fit with driving licience.
• Outdoor robots for street cleaning, garbage collection, and security.

But why would someone buy a different robot for home cleaning, grocery, and garden work? Would people want it all in one package? The same reason to send a humanoid robot to general users with training and instructions for space missions. Hence, we need more refinements in robotics itself.

We need these classifications in robotics, not just for cost but also for time, experience, and specialization.

Well, whatever money is saved must be taxed and sent to the government to help create new employments or provide unemployment benefits to the citizens.

There are four kinds of robots, as explained above. Each of the these kinds of robots would have a different tax, as they are processed and replace human jobs in different ways. The amount of tax can be computed by the job replaced by the robot of the above three kinds.

Cobots, too, are special robots and have an altogether different application. They replace small jobs and help with human work.

Humanoid robots work like humans and can replace the entire job of one or more humans when they are deployed in the future. Manufacturing robots are needed because they perform dangerous work that is repetitive and can harm humans, such as welding car parts.

What would humans do then? Well, humaoids are not yet deployed. Once we enter the future and see humanoids deployed in houses across the developed world, followed by the ultra-rich parts of the developing world. We would see automation on a scale. Jobs would be impacted. Quality of life would change. Migrations would decrease, as most work can be handled by AI or robotics. So, plan for the future by looking at these developments that are going on in the world from a futuristic view.
