They’re coming to help reopen the economy but still have social distancing.

Looks like this is as close as we’re getting now. A goddamn robot dog with an iPad for a head. Pathetic.

The robots can't get infected with the virus can they? Could we have somebody look into that?

I bought one back in the 90s. They were hard to come by but I got mine from an ad. in the back of Popular Science magazine.
He disappeared one day while parking my flying car. ' I haven't thought of him in years.

So Ford had an autonomous taxi service that was close to launch. It’s unfortunately been delayed two years, but I guess that’s a good sign of progress toward our robotic future.

Watch WESTWORLD and you'll soon see that they make no sense.

What do you mean, R13? I started watching Westworld but lost interest toward the end of the first season.

Humans is the much better robot series. I prefer the Swedish version (Real Humans) , but the Canadian one is pretty good too:

We sort of do have them. They're mostly for "entertainment" purposes.

Where are the robots? Right here stealing our jobs.
[QUOTE] You can’t make a trip to the supermarket these days without donning modern day armor — masks, gloves, hand sanitizer. But in late May, the Whole Foods store on South Street added another line of defense in the battle against the coronavirus: It replaced a row of employee-powered cash registers with nine self-checkout stations.
[QUOTE]Masks and gloves are a cheap safeguard against the contagion and will probably be discarded once the pandemic subsides. But the self-checkout machines are an investment that is likely to stick around, at least until the next generation of technology takes their place. According to a store employee, the South Street supermarket can now function with just three human cashiers on a typical shift, down from a high of 15 spots. If you choose self-checkout, you can easily complete your shopping without encountering a single Whole Foods “team member” at close range.
[QUOTE] Even before the pandemic reconfigured every aspect of our daily lives, it was clear that the cash register — the kind with a drawer that pops out after your groceries are tallied — was headed for the dust heap of technology, joining fax machines and CD players. Many convenience stores, like CVS, Rite Aid and Target, started installing self-checkout stations a decade ago. By the time Giant’s Heirloom Market, one of the more tech-savvy combatants in Philadelphia’s grocery wars, opened its first city store last year, self-checkout was the only option.

I remember as a kid, the sci-fi movies set in the future were all in the 80's-90's. Space 1999, etc. Star Trek was the only one that mentioned anything like 2535. They used to show "cars of the future" type things and the cars either flew or had autopilot and it would be done by now.
