Are US robotic startups just assembling robots with chinese made parts?

>>106846263 (OP)
everything "designed" in USA is made of chinese parts. how new are you?

it's all china
either in assembly, parts or both

can commie leftists manufacture those parts in the us? without owning the means of production? what's the lowest salary they'd settle for? can't have those parts too expensive, they won't sell

china is not only cheaper, it's faster, they have more expertise and their results are just as good if not better than anywhere else on the planet.

you can thank tim apple.

literally the entirety of chinese EV industry was kickstarted by applel's failed car project

Nothing is made in America. It's all made in China, Europe, South Korea, or Japan.

You are trying to argue with a padi shill from china...

Americans have gaslit themselves into thinking "Made in America" is some sort of quality indicator while in reality it's a warning sign.

>>106848065
>gaslit
it's more of an anachronism. american used to mean quality which some people have held on to. i have some Starrett tools from the 60's that are still some of the best in the world.

>made in europe
lol

>>106846269
That's not true. Some of that carp is made in India.

Robot means slave, either return to monke or become mongoloid slave robot

>Americans have gaslit themselves into thinking "Made in America" is some sort of quality indicator while in reality it's a warning sign.

it was a quality indicator when there were hundreds of smaller corporations competing for market share. The white anglo protestant work ethic meant that a consumer expected not just a high quality product, but one for a low cost. But this is exclusively a white person concept. In china, their cultural belief is different. They believe FIRMLY in 'you get what you pay for' and this utterly confuses boomers. In china, if you arent willing to pay more for a good product, then you arent just at risk to being cheated... its expected for you to be cheated, almost as if it was some kind of moral obligation in order to punish you for your own greed and hubris. Why? because you are disrespecting the merchant by low balling them.

Depends
Of all the US made commerical and industrial equipment I've seen, you notice a few things.
>overbuilt as fuck
>simple designs
>easy to repair
Some shit breaks down alot but it's nothing that otherwise can't be fixed.

The US has a real hard time with consumer goods. The best example I can give is a coffee maker.
The US made coffee maker will be 4x as heavy, cost 10x as much, lack 100% of the features and will either work forever or break down alot.

>startups can't into manufacturing or made in amerrica fuck yeah
Skill issue

when i worked in a kitchen in high school that had all hobart stuff. that stuff was legit built to last. a 600 dollar stand mixer from wal mart looks like an ez bake oven compared to a 1500 dollar(200's era money) commercial hobart mixer.

>Coffee maker
That's just a simple flow heater, it should be impossible to fuck that up and it has no right costing more than 50 bucks.

This is a proper coffee maker, with complex internals.

Pottery.

Do they not understand that the Chinese will reverse engineer it and steal the design pumping out models for half the price?

My coffee maker is five parts. A tube, a plunger, the rubber bit on the plunger, a perforated retainer, and a paper filter. Nothing to break, really.

>>106848265
A bunn is perhaps a bad example because they are more novel than your regular coffee maker but yes a basic coffee maker shouldn't cost much and be reliable.

What are you even trying to say, numbnuts? You sound like you typed this during a meth binge with your sister/mom.

>>106846263 (OP)
American can't make much of anything. China, Japan, and Korea are now the kings of creation.

>>106846263 (OP)
Not all of them are, but the situation's fucking grim. US's best bet is to go hard on artificial muscles. Most can be made from mostly plastic and oil. The US's refineries can provide much of that.

if i have to live in gay harem-- i mean walled garden-- under the watchful eye of chinese overlords, it's gotta be tim cook's. That silver fox....

Kalil no!

Problem? Probably 90% of the things the world buys are assembled "with Chinese made parts" today. Why the sudden concern over humanoid robots (or any other kind for that matter)?
