Recession robots laid off for real people

Even the most efficient workers in the world-robots have to suffer from unemployment because of the global recession, the New York Times reported 12th.　　Machine workers give way to real employees Japan has the world's largest robotic "corps", but as Japan's economy plunged into a severe recession and consumer demand fell, the ideal employee who did not eat and sleep without insurance had to go out of business. Yaskawa, Japan's largest robot manufacturing company, fell 2/3, about 72 million dollars, in its fiscal year from March 2008 to March 2009.　　Researchers at the Foxconn economy say the industrial robotics market will shrink by 40% this year because bosses are cutting off the purchase of machine workers to protect real workers from layoffs. In 2005, Japan had more than 370,000 industrial robots, which meant that of the average 1000 jobs, 32 were machine workers, while Japan's industrial robots accounted for 40% of the world's total.　　In 2007, the government also planned to raise the total number of machine workers to 1 million by 2025, and it now seems almost impossible to achieve such a grand plan. The machine "Nanny" loses the market. In addition to machine workers, cute robot toys or home robots are also the most. Sales of a guard robot company have fallen by nearly 1/3.　　From the IPO to now less than 4 years time, they have decided to stop the lovely home robot.　　Japan's aging problem is very serious, about 1/4 of the population is over 65 years old, so the market prospects for home robots is very bright, but now there is such a strange thing: the manufacturers of home robots even a product has not sold. A Japanese robot store owner's words are true: "In general, robots are too expensive and impractical."　　"Hope that the robot industry can safely weather the economic crisis, the timely conclusion of lessons," fly into ordinary people's home.
