Coexisting with Robots--The Future Workplace Reality - Converge
In a Silicon Valley startup, Fetch Robotics, about 50 employees, and 125 robots work cohesively. According to CEO Melonee Wise, the human employees see the robots as pets, even calling them "pups". This is becoming the new normal, with many companies employing robots to supplement their workforce as opposed to completely replacing it. Despite the fear that robots are predicted to take over most jobs, the future might, in fact, be more about working alongside robots rather than robots running the workforce completely. At Fetch Robotics, Wise states that "no one has ever lost a job because of our robots."
