Robots in U.S. factories getting less work: WSJ

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Orders for factory robots in North America plunged by nearly one-third last year from 2022's record volume, according to the Association for Advancing Automation, a trade group for the robotics industry. Orders slipped further over the first six months of this year.

"Robots are getting less work at U.S. factories. Manufacturers are cutting back on purchases of automation equipment, executives said, as business slows on production lines and shop floors. More human workers are lining up for work again, too," reported The Wall Street Journal in its report on Monday about the development.
