The implant also allowed him to tap into the Internet at Columbia [...]
For so long the applied science of computers and electro-mechanical engineering has ushered in robotics to vastly improve mass production in just about any complex machinery on earth.
You have manufacturing companies ranging from pharmaceuticals, food preparation, bottling, distilleries, cigarette manufacturing, automotive and electrical appliance manufacturing, to mention some, harnessing the immediate efficiencies of robots to [...]
