Robots no more science fiction in real life

China Daily  

I first learned about robots while reading a science fiction story more than 50 years ago. In thousands of factories in China, on the other hand, more than 2 million industrial robots are working day and night, making all kinds of products for consumers across the world. Statistics show China has become the world's biggest user of industrial robots, employing more than 2 million such robots — about 5 million industrial robots are in service around the world now. About half a million industrial robots are "born" across the world each year, with more than half of them either "born" in or migrating to China. Although the output of service robots far outnumbers that of robots working in industries — 6.45 million service robots were produced in China in 2022 — robot often evoke complaints from users that they are not intelligent enough, difficult to communicate with or incapable of taking care of individual demands.
