IEEE just named "labour displacement" the theme of its humanoids conference. From the floor, that's overdue.

IEEE made "labour displacement" the official theme of its humanoids conference this year. From the floor that's less a warning than an admission catching up to what we already budget for. Nobody on my site says "displacement." We say tote-induction rates and whether the arm pays back inside 18 months. Figure's past 10k units, BMW just put 40 on the Spartanburg line after an 11-month pilot. Not an uprising - a procurement decision that finally cleared finance. On the ground the pick job doesn't vanish, it splits: one person babysits six stations and handles the exceptions the arm can't. The job left is one nobody wrote a title for yet - and the real question is what that exception-handler earns once payback clears 12 months. What are you seeing?
