England Looks to the United States for Robots Leadership
As nonautomotive manufacturers in the United States continue to explore the possibility of implementing robots in their production processes, business leaders in England are pointing to U.S. practices as a model for their own.
According to a recent study by the British Automation and Robot Association (BARA), based at the University of Warwick (Coventry, England), small businesses in the UK are currently failing to invest in robotics at adequate levels, even though the price of the technology has fallen significantly. According to the study's authors, English manufacturers need to take action if they wish to remain competitive with businesses in other parts of the world.
