Robots, in our collective imagination, are objects of fascination and fear. While our inner 5-year-olds marvel at the thought of Transformers or C-3PO in real life, the adult side of us fret over concerns about how robots might affect — or even replace — human jobs.
Make no mistake about it — robots will take on jobs, but not in the way you most fear, said Boston Dynamics CEO Robert Playter at Yahoo Finance’s Invest conference. Boston Dynamics, founded in 1992, is a leading robotics design and engineering company that counts Meta (META), Nestle Purina, Anheuser-Busch (BUD), and DHL Express among its clients. Playter said that the company’s industrial robots will conduct tasks that humans simply don’t want, or aren’t well suited to.
