Coeur d’Alene was the first city in America to pass an ordinance that allows the use of robots in public. Be nice, Coeur d’Alene Loves Robots.
.
Coeur d’Alene is becoming World famous for Robotics and AI,(artificial intelligence). The city is embracing new companies that build robots and advance the science of AI to improve human lives. Coeur d’Alene, aka CDA is home to the man that built the first Robotic Arm! CDA offers sabbaticals to the leading robotics and AI,(artificial intelligence), professors. When a robotics expert visits CDA he/she is freely provided with a car and home during their welcoming stay.

YES, Robots will replace repetitive factory jobs, but this is good news for employees that can re-educate and be adaptable. Replacing a yearly salary for a factory floor operator of $20,000 for a salary of $65,000 to $100,000.
.
Start thinking about job titles like Robot coordinator, equipment installer,
mobile service technician, machine engineering and Robot maintenance.
.
34,600 manufacturing robots were delivered to medium and small size factories in North America in 2016! Robot sales have tripled in industries like packaged foods and pharmaceuticals.
Coeur d’Alene is helping companies build cheaper, faster Robots that can cost as little as $25,000. Full of intuitive software, better visualization technology, smaller chips, better sensors, and materials. Robots that can be operated by touch screen and can easily be repurposed to perform different tasks. Building one robot that can replace 2,400 human-hours a year.

Instead of 5 people doing a mundane repetitive job. The robots will allow
one person to operate 5 robots to do the same tedious jobs.

“CDA was the first municipality in the World to pass laws that protect robots on public property. Robots officially have
rights. Robots can operate freely and autonomously on public lands. You need to treat robots as if they’re a human,
and they need to behave as if they are citizens,” explains Smoot.
