In the U.S. alone, robot shipments across all sectors increased by more than 15 percent, marking a record number of shipments to American companies.

Robots took on a record number of jobs in North American firms last year, the Robotic Industries Association said Thursday.

The consumer goods sector purchased almost 50 percent more robots in 2018 than in 2017, while life sciences saw an increase of a third. "These sales and shipments aren't just to large, multinational companies anymore. Small and medium-sized companies are using robots to solve real-world challenges, which is helping them be more competitive on a global scale," said Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation — the RIA's parent company.

Last month, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told a press conference that policymakers needed to"deliver a human-centered agenda."

What the U.S. is getting wrong on North Korea | OpinionFixated on the unachievable goal of full nuclear disarmament, the U.S. risks of missing its chance to shape how a future unified Korea will look like. BrookingsInst once you go nuclear, you don't go back BrookingsInst hey realDonaldTrump you look like a puppet in all this and Kim is playing you!! The world knows this and so are you too chicken to tell Kim he must get rid of all his nukes? This meeting is a farce!!
