As we well know, is in the midst of poor working conditions at Foxconn factories, where products like the iPhone and the iPad are manufactured. To "fix" this problem (and fire a lot of staff), the CEO of the company has chosen to replace its employees with a million robots.
Known as "Foxbots" These robots are designed to certain positions of the factories that may be considered hazardous. Obviously, the company is also expected to be served Foxbots to save money, not to mention one of the greatest desires of Foxconn is to avoid strikes and protests from its employees, and mainly suicides in its factories, which has already occurred in a twice. The company has already launched to 10,000 robots, and as planned is estimated that about 1 million will be working by 2014.
